Clicking on the shortcut obviously fails to start a shell console. I did install the cygwin64 root directory to a different drive letter, D:\cygwin64, instead of default C: drive. In the cygwin64 directory, a batch file, Cygwin.bat, is there where running it in a Windows cmd console will start a bash shell. The main cmd in the batch file does a change directory from an environment variable that doesn't exist: cd /d "%~dp0bin" && .\bash --login -i Setup log in /var/log doesn't show a failed setup issue. Also, the Windows Start menu for Cygwin also has same bad link to start the terminal. -George
