I ran Procmon. During startup of cygwin, which took about 40 seconds,
the only processes running besides bash.exe were:

cmd.exe
csrss.exe
conhost.exe

SearchProtocolHost.exe
SearchIndexer.exe
EXPLORER.EXE

svchost.exe
id.exe
hostname.exe
grep.exe
echo.exe

The first 3 only showed briefly at the start.
The search and explorer exes appeared during short intervals which I
guess is normal.
Of the last 5, id.exe appeared the most and hostname.exe the least.

I noticed that bash.exe accessed a lot of windows system files.

Don't know If i am applying the correct filters though...(I used the
default filter)
