Check your Cygwin/mintty startup shortcut target or other command line
looks like:
"...\bin\mintty.exe -i /Cygwin-Terminal.ico -"
where the final " -" ensures that the shell is invoked as a login shell,
otherwise normal login setup may not be done correctly or fully.
Confirm that you still have /bin/cygwin-console-helper installed.
Failing that, check if your profile or rc scripts are doing, using, or
invoking something which sanitizes your environment or changes it
incompatibly.
