I have a new Windows 11 machine. I ran setup V2.925 with command-line
options for my default set of packages, clicked through installation,
and specified start menu but no desktop icon. Install seemed to go
smoothly, but while there was a start menu folder for Cygwin with
documentation, there was no "Cygwin64 Terminal" link.
I found the folder under /ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Start\
Menu/Programs/Cygwin, and the shortcut was there, but it had the wrong
permissions. It showed up as ---rwxr-x. I executed chmod u+rx 'Cygwin64
Terminal.lnk' and restarted, and now it shows up and works as expected.
Please let me know if I can shed any more light on what's going on here.
