I had a similar issue. It seems that some updates do not complete successfully under the circumstances you describe. I
suspect there is an issue with shells failing to run successfully as I often have to try several times before I can get
Cygwin to open a bash shell successfully. Others require a reboot (and you need to watch the messages for this
information).
I find that I get best results if I first run the windows command
(from either CMD or bash):
net stop sshd
and then exit all bash shells and cygwin apps,
and then run Cywin setup.exe.
I then restart with:
net start sshd
If you are running other services, like cron, you would have to
stop them similarly.
