Ok.
FWIW I have used cygwin ssh for two things:
1. Launching mosh sessions (this still worked after the Win10 upgrade)
2. Running "ssh -Y " sessions from lxterminal launched with XWin by xlaunch
and it has worked fine until the reboot followed by the Win10 upgrade.
mosh still works, and normal ssh (without -Y) from cygwin terminals
still works, after the Win10 upgrade.

I changed the /etc/nsswitch.conf file, and rebooted to ensure all
processes had been killed. But cygwin still seemed to use the
windows profile directory. I still have HOME set to the profile
directory. I have all of my unix-y program setup files there (used by
GNU emacs, git bash, and mingw utilities)
But still no luck in launching XWin, either with xlaunch or from the
command line.
I will unset HOME and reboot and try again.
For now, here's the output from the launch from the cygwin console:
sbang@ITEM-S63383:~$ pwd
/cygdrive/d/Profiles/sbang
sbang@ITEM-S63383:~$ cat /etc/nsswitch.conf
