While running a .bat inside a jenkins job, on a windows 10 slave node, at the point where a pdf is to be generated, using pdflatex of miktex, the job hangs indefinitely. No error is generated or whatsoever. I have been running the same .bat script, at the same node, with the exact same tools and configuration, by hand, all this time, and it works like a charm. Problem occurs when loading ("C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\tex\latex\graphics-cfg\graphics.cfg") Here's the output
