I renamed environment HOME to HOME_DISABLED (in advanced system settings) and rebooted. cmd.exe showed that HOME was gone. However, in cygwin bash HOME was still set to the profile directory and that was still used as the HOME dir. startxwin still failed to start X. Output from the cygwin console for this attempt (I have rebooted with HOME in place so that I can send email using emacs and Gnus): sbang@ITEM-S63383:~$ pwd /cygdrive/d/Profiles/sbang sbang@ITEM-S63383:~$ env | grep HOME ATLAS_HOME=C:\Applications\Atlassian\atlassian-plugin-sdk-8.0.16 JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_241 HOME=/cygdrive/d/Profiles/sbang HOME_DISABLED=d:\Profiles\sbang HOMEDRIVE=d: HOMEPATH=\Profiles\sbang sbang@ITEM-S63383:~$ cat /etc/nsswitch.conf # /etc/nsswitch.conf # # This file is read once by the first process in a Cygwin process tree. # To pick up changes, restart all Cygwin processes.
