Your checklist could have been quite a big help, except that between my asking and you answering, I managed to fix it.Not really enough information provided to offer an real help.
In compiling the post I looked at a couple of guides to decide which to refer to, and one of them described logging in through Putty, and I was moved to try that as a test: it worked, so clearly the problem was in Git-bash.
All that it needed was to create $HOME/.bashrc and put in export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0.
Thank you though, hopefully it will help the next person along... Or possibly me, next time something goes wrong. Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
In no particular order:
- What's the exact command you are trying to run?
- What's your DISPLAY environment variable set to?
- Do you have an X server running on the Windows box?
- How are you logging in to the Pi to run the command? Exactly. Not just "via ssh" or "with putty".
- Which model PI?
- Which OS and which major release (by name please not by kernel or splash screen version number).
- Are you certain nothing has changed on the windows box? No updates from Microsoft?
- If trying to use TCP (e.g. DISPLAY=hostname:0) rather than forwarding over ssh (e.g. DISPLAY= localhost:10.0) has your X server been configured to allow that?
- Is it being blocked by your windows firewall?
