Greetings, Jason Pyeron!

> Sad to admit, but I have not updated Cygwin in a very long time.

> It takes a very long (more than an hour) time to update Cygwin due to the

The best course is to endure and upgrade.
May be review the list of installed packages and remove those unused first.

> I know this does not address the I have 60+ minty running, but this approach can be done while rebooting.

There's an easy way to know if any are still running.

    ps ax

Then just hunt and shut down each of them.
