Running a Jenkins command under cmd environment - jenkins

Question

Installed cygwin on my Jenkins server. Running a cmake --version gave me:
fatal error - cygheap base mismatch detected
Followed the instructions to disable ASLR in windows 10 Exploit protection. Now, it works fine under cmd and even psexec but still fails under git bash and Jenkins.
In general, I do not want to run commands under any bash rather than cmd because cmd is my development environment too.
When testing building the application under Jenkins, I want the application being built via cmake under only cmd environment. Exactly same environment and the same result. Please do not refer me to questions for how to run scripts under Jenkins. That's a different question.
But my Jenkins fails:

Answer 1

agent any
Make sure your agent is a Windows one, and execute bat steps
PATH = "C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM32"
That looks a bit short to me.
A minimal Windows PATH would rather be:
PATH = "C:\\WINDOWS\\system32;C:\\WINDOWS;C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\Wbem;C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\"
