Hi Corinna,

Is there any progress regarding this problem?

I recently encountered the same situation. After some trials,
I found this problem occurs if the account, on which cygwin
setup is executed, is a Microsoft account. This does not occur
if the account is a local account.

Above is true for both:
a) Group permissions on root folders
b) Creating sshd service using cyg_server

I would be happy if this information helps you.
