But not new to the list.

@carolus, navigate to your Cygwin installation /bin, locate mintty.exe, bring
up it's properties and remove the "Requires admin powers" checkbox on
Compatibility tab.
Confirm your changes, and it should work fine from now on.

The confusion (and the problem) stems from the fact that the windows shortcut
have two places to raise "Needs to be admin" flag.
One in "Link - Advanced...", which sets the flag in the shortcut itself, and
the other in Compatibility, which sets the flag FOR APPLICATION, no matter
from which shortcut, or even without, you starting it.
