I searched the Cygwin FAQ and mailing list archives for issues related to Windows 10 and found an item about multiple windows which should already be fixed. We have received a couple reports about crashes when running on Windows 10 with the new console enabled. For example:

Windows 10 has given me satisfactory results with cygwin64 (although I'm
more likely to run git under 8.1).  This is a welcome change from the
days when Microsoft personnel stated that bugs reported primarily by
cygwin users would not be fixed even when they could be reproduced
outside cygwin.
