Downloading and running as administrator the uncompressed version from https://cygwin.com/setup/ (https://cygwin.com/setup/) solved the setup-x86_64.exe "doing nothing". Thanks for your help.

No wonder it would experience havoc in an A/V environment since the extracted temp file may well be located on a non-executable location and or EXEC would have been shimmed by AV and it doesn't correctly return control from an ephemeral location.

 This seems highly speculative.

 This is very odd behaviour.
 If you really suspect some AV problems, it may help to try the
 uncompressed setup executable, available from [1]
