A little update. I rolled back to run-1.3.1-1 (from local backup) and it started to work again. Then I searched further and found these messages: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2014-09/msg00026.html https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-09/msg00127.html https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-09/msg00401.html https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-10/msg00040.html https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-10/msg00170.html
So I updated to run-1.3.3-1 again and tested: 1. D:\cygwin\bin\run.exe --quote /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c "/usr/bin/startxwin.exe -- -ac" 2. D:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c "\"/usr/bin/startxwin.exe -- -ac\"" Which both work, while the original form: 3. D:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c "/usr/bin/startxwin.exe -- -ac" doesn't (it works with run up to 1.3.1-1).
