Delete your Cygwin64 root directory and start again, a bit more incrementally, not all big bang!
Install only base cygwin packages to start, and check mintty, bash, and coreutils work okay.
Then install only base X Window packages, and check your local X server and standard clients work okay.
Then install additional optional packages, and check those work okay.
Always agree when asked to install additional package dependencies.
Postinstall steps may take a while, especially initially, and every rebase - please be patient.
