Yes, there was a change about two years ago.  I suspect you have a .startxwinrc that uses fbpanel instead of xwin-xdg-menu.  See   https://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin-announce/2015-07/msg00013.html Ken, I have a relatively new install, since pi day 2017, and no .startxwinrc. I had something similar Thursday 7/20/17 afternoon, after running updates for Windows security, and Cygwin. $ startxwin & would get the icon with menu, but selecting xterm would not display an xterm. This is often all I use with Cygwin menu. A couple restarts and runs of setup without any updates didn't help. After a complete shutdown over a 3-day weekend, and another cygwin setup/update today, startxwin & xterm from menu click worked OK. So I was relieved, but also, I suppose, glad to not be the only one, maybe. Some other things do not work right.
