More info:
Running "cygcheck -rvs" from under bash (that I could only start from cmd.exe
as shown earlier)
does not seem to show anything unusual (I have only single install of Cygwin,
there's no conflict
of any kind, and all the packages check out Okay).

The only thing in that output that still does not seem right is this section
(which I can't show in its entirety, so I am redacting it):

mote Desktop Users)
555(Remote Desktop Users)
545(Users)
...
Note that my username is still numeric and the second line shows some incomplete
group name that has been cut off in the middle ("mote Desktop Users")...
All other (about 20) groups that follow [...] have their numeric and textual
information correct, without any issues...
I vaguely remember having the same issue some time ago (but then my work PC was
frequently bugchecking
because of a faulty memory module), and I did not tie any recent password
change (if there was any at all)
with my unability to run Cygwin terminal... That time I had to clean my
registry settings pertaining
to Cygwin and then I got the terminal working back (still have a history of
doing so in the support
ticket created back than). I haven't done so just yet. Maybe some other thing
is also in the play here,
and I will gladly provide any necessary information while it persistently and
reproducibly not working,
to have it fixed (rather than crudely worked around).
Thanks for looking into this.
