On my system, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console has a Cygwin subkey (and a Git
Bash subkey, but I don't use Git Bash).  I don't know if that is still
in use (given comments re. Cygwin not needing the registry any longer,
which I may have misinterpreted), but with the odd behavior, maybe it
is still in use.
