I'm not sure about the answer to these questions, so to clear things
up, I'm downloading it anew now. Getting it from
https://git-scm.com/download/win .
I downloaded and installed Git for Windows, version 2.10.1, 32-bit.

Indeed the context menu option is now called "Git Bash Here". I don't
know what it was called before I installed this new version of git,
but now it works fine. I.e. no more auto-closing bash window.

Thanks for (indirectly) helping me resolve the issue. :)
