However, I kept a copy of the failed/corrupted install and put it in a VM so I can continue to diagnose the failure.  Interestingly, it exhibits the same failure within the VM, so now we know it's not something within the specific Windows environment.  Also worth noting, the host environment is Windows 7, the VM guest is Windows 10. I took your suggestion and ran `rebase-trigger full`, closed cygwin windows, and re-ran setup.  It has not resolved the problem, unfortunately.  - Brent On 2019-12-21 08:31, Andrey Repin wrote: > Greetings, Brent Epp! > >> I've been using cygwin for years with no problems.  I just updated >> cygwin again and I suddenly can't get into the terminal.
