Actually, I set it in my Windows User environment so it is always set for my user. You can find the old windows path as the value of the environment variable ORIGINAL_PATH. Then, when necessary, I add only the previous path components that I require back in my .bash_profile. In my cases,My path looks like: $ echo $PATH /home/USER/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/cygdrive/c/Go/bin:/bin In your case, you may have Plex in your path. Make sure any Plex related directories are not in your cygwin path. A Google (or similar) search for "CYGWIN_NOWINPATH" will find many pages on cygwin.com and stackoverflow.com.
