Something went wrong to my Cygwin installation update (update is performed
by removing everything and installing again the new version). The home
directory of my user was not created, when you run Cygwin for the first time.
When I start Cygwin it defaults to the evil C:\Windows\System32!?!?
-bash-4.4$ pwd
/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32
-bash-4.4$ cd
-bash: cd: /home/kavalpa: No such file or directory
-bash-4.4$
How this can be fixed in proper way, without causing any permission issues.
By figuring out what went wrong during setup.
Please respond attaching /var/log/setup.log.full and terminal or console log if
possible.
Otherwise just run setup-x86/_64 [-g] to upgrade without wiping everything to
avoid such problems.
