As soon as I launch Cygwin, I see

This would appear to be due to M$'s latest bout of paranoia, which in some
system configurations has them silently sabotage any program that has the same
name as one of Windows' own utilities. So "find" or "hostname" will be blocked
while, say. "ls" or "xargs" are not.
Conflicting programs which may be impacted include:
$ for win in /proc/cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/*.exe; \
do \

[ -x /bin/$exe ] && which -a $exe; \
