Ensure all Cygwin processes are shut down from cmd or Powershell:

	> tasklist /m cygwin1.dll
	INFO: No tasks are running which match the specified criteria.

or usually:

Image Name                     PID Modules
========================= ======== ===========
bash.exe                      9276 cygwin1.dll
sh.exe                        3844 cygwin1.dll

bash.exe                      8384 cygwin1.dll

but be aware it shows processes, excluding services, using any 
cygwin1.dll if you have multiple environments installed;

or check TaskMgr Details Image path name does not show anything running 
from your Cygwin root bin or related directories.

Download and run latest Cygwin Setup program.

Reinstall incomplete or missing python3{,6,7,8,9}-pip latest versions 
and also install python3{,6,7,8,9}-virtualenv which all preinstall 
dependencies python-{pip,setuptools,wheel}-wheel.

Allow the setup postinstall scripts to complete and check for any issues 
in /var/log/setup.log.full.
