Please find attached cygcheck.out (redacted some environment
variables, a network share and local Windows groups) and also
XWin.0.log (though it appears the same as stdout in this case).

Note "this update" in my previous email could be unclear, I meant to
refer to the Windows update installed this morning. Looking at the
update history it appears that includes:

Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB3177723): 2016 — Egypt cancels DST
Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB3172605): July 2016
update rollup for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB3161102): Update for
Windows Journal component removal
Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool x64 - August 2016 (KB890830)
Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB3179573): August 2016
update rollup for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1

Thanks in advance for any help.
