In line screw up the search function of the mailing list

Sorry!
USER = 'sbang'
PWD = '/cygdrive/d/Profiles/sbang'
HOME = '/cygdrive/d/Profiles/sbang'
It is never a good idea to have the Cygwin Home dir the
same of Windows user dir
Why this not a good idea?
because permissions like the one needed for ssh
can be screwd by Windows ACL permission inherited
have you modified the "/etc/nsswitch.conf" ?
Not intentionally. It looks like this:
sbang@ITEM-S63383:~$ cat /etc/nsswitch.conf
# /etc/nsswitch.conf
#
# This file is read once by the first process in a Cygwin process tree.
# To pick up changes, restart all Cygwin processes. For a description
# see https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-mapping-nsswitch
#
# Defaults:
# passwd: files db
# group: files db
# db_enum: cache builtin
# db_home: /home/%U
db_home: windows
# db_shell: /bin/bash
# db_gecos: <empty>
can you reset the default
db_home: /home/%U
close all processes and try X again ?
This should use /home/sbang as your new home and
we can see if it is a permission problem that is causing
issue to Xwin
