Hi All, Big fan - long time user, first time mailer! :-)
Quick check - I'm seeing Unknown+user issues even since I started logging in via an Azure AD "domain" account - I put "domain" in quotes because Azure AD is not full AD domain services, just the identity services (likely cause of my failure....) Anyway, this is what I see: ============== C:\WINDOWS\system32>whoami azuread\russellmora C:\WINDOWS\system32> ============== I used the 2.873 64-bit installer and did a basic install. When I first fire up cygwin (from c:\cygwin64\cygwin.bat) I see this (note the home dir and whoami are different, plus what to me seems like unusual permissions for my home dir): ============== Copying skeleton files. These files are for the users to personalise their cygwin experience. They will never be overwritten nor automatically updated.

I did a clean install with clean registry but that didn't help. Any ideas?
