When you installed tmux via cygwin, you might’ve updated some other packages 
that brought new behavior.  I have to do some more checking, but it looks like 
cygwin might have changed something recently so that it doesn’t set errno when 
it can’t connect to an existing socket file, and this confuses tmux.

Try deleting the tmux socket file and see if you’re able to start tmux again.
