Here is the missing link: https://cygwin.com/ml/2011-02/msg00416.html . Wow! that is link very old. I hope that means that someone has a fix! Anyway, I'm getting very similar symptoms on cygwin64 with windows 10 with FSF emacs 23.2, 24.2& 24.5. I don't have this problem on cygwin32 and windows 8.1. I also do not get this problem with Cygwin emacs-w32 on windows 10 with cygwin64 (strangely enough). Unfortunately, the following file name (for example) works with fsf emacs and not Cygwin emacs-w32: $USERPROFILE/Documents/hello.txt Even some bash commands accept this but emacs-w32 does not. I use these environment variables extensively to facilitate moving between different windows logins.

This is a major problem!

I can't make much sense out of what you wrote, but I'm responding as Cygwin's emacs maintainer. Is there some emacs problem I can help you with? If so, please make a complete, self-contained report.
