This looks weird. Did you copy your /etc/passwd and /etc/group files
from another machine, by any chance? If you have both files, simply
remove them. Check if you have a /etc/nsswitch.conf(*) file and
remove it as well.
Exit all Cygwin processes and start a single shell. What does
`id' print? What does `ls -l' print now?

Startxwin worked after doing "chown granp:granp /tmp".
/etc/passwd and /etc/group files don't exist.
The file
/etc/nsswitch.conf
was default dated from January. Moved it.
The output from `id and `ls -l is in the attached file.
