The /etc/passwd file specifies /bin/bash. This setting most likely was installed by yourself, the current Cygwin doesn't install anything in system variables and it doesn't need SHELL there. Depending on why you put it into the system variables you might need to keep it, but you could try to tremove it temporarily to find out whether you truly need it.
