I'm using the same version of Cygwin with the new
20.4.1 version of gnu emacs, and I have no problems
starting a bash shell within a buffer.

The only difference between my _emacs and the one that
Aris posted is that I don't point straight to the bash
executeable:

>(setq shell-file-name "c:/bin/bash") ;; or sh if you rename your bash


Mine looks like this, and "bash" is in my PATH...

(setq shell-file-name "bash") ;; or sh if you rename bash
