Check your Cygwin/mintty startup shortcut target or other command line 
looks like: 
	"...\bin\mintty.exe -i /Cygwin-Terminal.ico -"
where the final " -" ensures that the shell is invoked as a login shell, 
otherwise normal login setup may not be done correctly or fully.

Confirm that you still have /bin/cygwin-console-helper installed.

Failing that, check if your profile or rc scripts are doing, using, or 
invoking something which sanitizes your environment or changes it 
incompatibly.
