brand-new Windows 10 Enterprise machine won't launch this cygwin installer. Troubleshoot setting applied can get around this but I'm not confident other bad things might happen.

I do wish your video shows up when someone search how to run linux or bash command on windows

That was very very interesting! Wish I'd seen this before just selecting 'All' during install. Now I have no nano. Maybe I don't even have the c compiler. Is there any way to fix this short of uninstalling cygwin and reinstalling it?
