'w' works fine for me without having "tty" in $CYGWIN. But that's because I use rxvt. If I set CYGWIN=tty and then start "bash -li" then "w" also shows the logged on user. Are you sure you're not trying to set CYGWIN=tty after the first shell has already initialized? It won't work if you do that, it has to be set before. (BTW, adding "ntsec" to $CYGWIN is a waste of time, as this has been the default for many years.)
