Sorry if I mention some of the more obvious things, but these are the
things I have done for my own cygwin installation. It has been in use
since I bought this laptop in August 2017. The /dev folder in the root
is dated ‎August ‎9, ‎2017, ‏‎21:25:42.

1. I turn off windows search indexing for the Cygwin root, and for the
download cache folders, and all files and subfolders.

2. I turn off Windows Defender for both those folders.

3. I use the latest version of setup.exe

4. I use a shortcut to the Cygwin setup.exe which mostly skips the
interactions, except for the package selection window. You have to run
setup.exe directly at least once to cache the folders for the root and
download cache, and your preferred mirror.

    %USERPROFILE%\Down_Loads\cygwin\setup-x86_64.exe -n -N -d -M

This has worked for me for several years. YMMV.

Doug
