Thank you so much for the patch and help! :) I figured out that the line that causing this difference in my .emacs is below: (setq shell-file-name "bash") This is set as "c:\Program Files\Emacs\emacs\bin\cmdproxy.exe" in default and the patch works then. I am not sure why this 'bash' causes this issue. Would be great if you or someone can explain this to me.
