I have requested the Cygwin package to be re-installed on my laptop and now it works fine and in the first execution:

--------------
Copying skeleton files.
These files are for the users to personalise their cygwin experience.

They will never be overwritten nor automatically updated.

'./.bashrc' -> '/home/kavalpa//.bashrc'
'./.bash_profile' -> '/home/kavalpa//.bash_profile'
'./.inputrc' -> '/home/kavalpa//.inputrc'
'./.profile' -> '/home/kavalpa//.profile'

My /var/log/setup.log.full is also clean and the postinstall scripts were successfully completely:

--------------
2021/03/05 09:18:07 running: C:\Program Files\Cygwin\bin\bash.exe --norc --noprofile "/etc/postinstall/emacs.sh"
2021/03/05 09:18:09 running: C:\Program Files\Cygwin\bin\bash.exe --norc --noprofile "/etc/postinstall/librsvg2.sh"
2021/03/05 09:18:55 running: C:\Program Files\Cygwin\bin\bash.exe --norc --noprofile "/etc/postinstall/openssh.sh"
...

All good now thanks!
