Windows 10.
The same cygwin 64 installation on windows 7 works properly.
It was installed to windows 10 host by simply copying whole c:\cygwin
directory.
Everything works except cut&paste.
What does `ls -l /dev/clipboard` say?
Copying the filesystem rather than installing loses some special file
properties, especially in the /dev folder.
Not sure whether it's possible to fix that with `mknod`.
There might be other problems as well. Symlinks are also going to be affected.
We couldn't find a reliable solution back in Win7 to simply copy Cygwin
installation by preserving the symlinks in a zip archive.
I would strongly advise to perform a normal installation and simply copy only the
contents of your Cygwin home directory (C:\Cygwin\home\<username>). It will be
quicker that trying to identify and fix all the possible issues.

I observe that it is possible to get a list of what is installed and do a more automated install of
the same things again. The techniques were posted recently in other threads, I believe. I agree
that this would be more reliable than trying to copy the file structure,
unless you really really know what you're doing.
