Because Gitea 1.21 was built by Golang 1.21 which have dropped support for windows 7. https://tip.golang.org/doc/go1.21#windows |

@lunny But why v1.21 and v1.21.0 and v1.21.1 can work well? |
It's wired. Maybe it's related to Golang's minor version? I have no idea. |
Can confirm but I get an error message:
And that's expected behaviour golang/go#64602
Should be the same in our case. |
Hi @znsoooo, sorry for the comment from algora above. There was a bug where it detected a trigger word from the golang URL posted. If you wish I can also refund the tip you provided. Sadly, the project itself is unable to support older versions of Golang as Gitea does use features from newer versions of golang. So this error is expected as it is related to Golang's supported OSes. However, if you are interested in an extended support release that is built with a lower version of Golang please reach out to me and I can help you with that. I will now close this issue. |
@KN4CK3R @techknowlogick Thank you for your answers! |
Description
After testing in all patch versions between v1.20.0 and v1.21.7 (including both gogit and non-gogit versions), I found that all versions<=v1.21.1 are running normally on Windows 7, and all versions>=v1.21.2 are crashed on Windows 7. (there even isn't any logs print out)
Run program in CMD:

As we all know Windows 7 is no longer supported by Microsoft, but the compatibility bug occurred only between the patch version v1.21.1 and v1.21.2. So I suspected that a minor change might have caused this compatibility issue.
If possible, it is hoped that this issue can be solved in future releases.
