Particle Workbench stop working - can't compile, missing DLL's

[Lawson]

I’m on Win10 x64 with all the updates. A few weeks back Particle Workbench ran just fine, but when I went back to using it to compile a simple PCB test program I got this error:

The terminal process “C:\Users\lawson.particle\toolchains\buildtools\1.1.1\bin\bash.exe ‘-c’, ‘make -f ‘C:\Users\lawson.particle\toolchains\buildscripts\1.9.2\Makefile’ compile-user’” failed to launch (exit code: 3221225781).

when I try this suggestion Particle: Launch Compiler Shell command, I get the same message

The terminal process “C:\Users\lawson.particle\toolchains\buildtools\1.1.1\bin\bash.exe ‘–noprofile’, ‘–norc’” failed to launch (exit code: 3221225781).

I started first with the editing of the PATH, but nothing has worked. It has been a few week since I used the IDE, so I uninstalled & re-installed it also.

I tried the re-install of the Visual C++ redistributable , but it fails

5FA8:6554][2020-12-13T08:21:52]e000: Error 0x80070666: Cannot install a product when a newer version is installed.

If I open a terminal and cd to * C:\Users\lawson.particle\toolchains\buildtools\1.1.1\bin* and run bash I get “code execution cannot proceed because cygwin1.dll was not found.” Followed by “cygreadline7.dll was not found.” Followed by “cygiconv-2.dll was not found.” Then back to “cygwin1.dll was not found.” Finally the dialogs stop

However, if I am not in the C**:\Users\lawson.particle\toolchains\buildtools\1.1.1\bin** directory, bash runs fine.
