Same issue. Nothing runs. Two things. 1. You can execute cygcheck by navigating to C:\cygwin or C:\cygwin64 in Explorer and opening a command or powershell window from explorer's shift-context menu. There, run the following command: .\cygcheck.exe -csr > ..\home\CYGWINUSERNAME\cygcheck.out or similar.If this does not work, I would look for a anti-virus or firewall that is interfering. 2. I don't recall you mentioning how you start cygwin. Please try both standard methods: a) execute c:\cygwin64\Cygwin.bat and b) executing the Cygwin icon that (by default) cygwin setup places on the desktop. 3. As an after thought, I always run cygwin with CYGWIN_NOWINPATH=1 set in my system environment variables. (From what I understand, I am one of the few people that do this!) This resets the PATH variable in the cygwin shell to only contain cygwin directories. If this resolves the problem, you can edit your .bashrc to add any needed windows path. For instance, I add the path to some go lang executables. And I set up aliases or functions to run a few specific Windows exes, such as Explorer, icacls, cmd, etc. If you want all the directories from your windows path, they are available in the ORIGINAL_PATH variable, so you can add all of them at the end of the PATH variable, so they do not shadow same-named cygwin exes.
