If you can, run "rebase-trigger full", or if you can't, run
"touch /var/cache/rebase/fullrebase" or do the equivalent with any tools 
available, then try rerunning Cygwin Setup, to see if that will 
stabilize your system.

You may also want to check your Windows Preview release docs, and 
articles about it, for features such as address changes or randomization 
(e.g. ASLR) being experimentally enabled on some % of systems, or 
mandated, and applied to dlls, which will break Cygwin.
