Try looking in the Cygwin User's Guide.

http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net.html
https://cygwin.com/docs.html

Aside from that you have to compile from src.

If you have Cygwin installed on a Windows you would go into Add & Remove Software to remove it.

On a Linux system you would make use of elevated privileges, become 'root' in a konsole and use the command-line utility to remove Cygwin.

What distribution you are running?

Hi...

I think the OP is running Cygwin on Windows XP from what I've see here. I included a link to a page with uninstall instructions, should the OP choose this route.

Regards...

Might see if MobaXterm would work if you can't get it working.

MobaXterm looks good.-

Thanks!

XDMCP is unstable and outdated. (as far as remote sessions go)

CygWin is very slow ,the cygwin1.dll is a bottleneck in processing

a BETTER option is to use MinGW/Msys and BUILD a Microsoft Windows *.exe of the program you need

as to it not working

did you install CygWin into "Program Files\cygwin " on 7,8,8.1 ,10
if so -- VERY bad idea

install to C:\\CygWin
