You problem seems to be with your Windows network profile and Windows programs, nothing to do with Cygwin. Fixing the former will probably fix the latter. But if your work infrastructure does not yet support W10 1809 (do you really mean that release, not the current 1909 release?) you should not have upgraded, and any breakage is down to you. For Cygwin options see: https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-mapping-nsswitch-desc -- Take care.
