Greetings, Robert Fensterman!

> When I try to launch Cygwin 3.6.2-1 - be it from the taskbar shortcut,

What's your /etc/shells and what is the output of `getent passwd %USERNAME%` ?
Can you start bash.exe directly?

> The taskbar shortcut is:
>> C:\cygwin64\bin\mintty.exe -i /Cygwin-Terminal.ico -

> Reverting to v 3.6.1-1 seems to work: Cygwin launches and is acting

> Running on Win11 24H2 (OS Build 26100.4061).
