The output shows that a number of key packages are incomplete, meaning that
files they own no longer exist on your system. It is not that c:\cygwin is
missing, but that a small but critical subset of key Cygwin files are missing.
Most importantly, the bash and cygwin packages are broken. You need to
reinstall these. I don’t know how your UI works, but those of us who can use
mice click the version number in the Cygwin setup.exe package list until it
says Reinstall.
Also broken are binutils and gcc-core, which will prevent you from compiling
most open-source software.
You should also reinstall the openssh, pulseaudio, and texinfo packages. These
might have just been dragged in as dependencies, and not be software you
actually use, but there’s no sense leaving them in a broken state.

By the way, could that be hint of virus activity or hard disk dying?
possible, but also a crash can leave the hard disk in an unclean status.
