Thanks, I should mention, I did try disabling my .bashrc file and
actually my entire user directory... still didn't work.
Also, mintty tells me neither of those options are valid? These are the
options it tells me are available: https://i.imgur.com/vyMG9t6.png
Also, just a correction to my original email, the shortcut was
actually:`...mintty.exe -i /Cygwin-Terminal.ico -`
The shortcut I previously stated was something I had done as a
troubleshooting step and then pasted it into the email by mistake.

What's interesting is that I have a number of cygwin/mintty shortcuts
for SSH servers as `c:\path\to\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe /bin/ssh
u...@server.com`, which work just fine. I can also get in if I run
`cygwin.bat` in `cmd`, `console2` or any other Windows command terminal.
I've tried running the latest cygwin setup, reinstalling `mintty`, and
the shortcut still fails. The shortcut is just the default target:
`C:\path\to\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe /bin/bash --login -i`
I don't know what else to try. What happened here and how do I fix this?
Probably a problem with your bash init scripts.
Try (for the shortcut): C:\cygwin64\bin\mintty.exe --noprofile --norc -
If that works, then start spelunking those init files (.bashrc,
.profile, /etc/{profile,bash.bashrc}).
BTW you don't need to call bash in the shortcut, mintty by default opens
bash with those parameters; but the "-" at the end is required.
