Do not update your cygwin installations, would be my advice.

I see the same issue, and it looks like this is because I have an empty (co= =3D mmented-out) ~/.startxwinrc Removing this file causes X to open and start an xterm, probably because it= =3D broke several of the new rules in https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2014-= =3D 11/msg00029.html: * User-defined ~/.startxwinrc files must now be executable, the final comma= =3D nd therein must be run in the foreground, and that command's exiting will e= =3D nd the X session, just like with startx and ~/.xinitrc or ~/.Xclients. This is then another problem for me because my .bashrc calls startxwin to m= =3D ake sure I always have an X server running ( per http://stackoverflow.com/a= =3D /9301966 ), and then I get caught in a loop of launching new X servers infi= =3D nitely (probably from startxwin now finding a new DISPLAY, and specifying b= =3D oth :0 and -silent-dup-error doesn't seem to silence the error that :0 alre= =3D ady exists). I'll keep playing with this to see if I can come up with a sol= =3D ution to duplicate my previous behavior: Any new bash shell makes sure that= =3D X is running, with no X apps running, and only one X is running, and new s= =3D hells don't cause "display already exists" errors.
