Without the information requested here:

(including cygcheck -svr output as a text attachment), we can only guess.
However, it seems like your installation failed to run the base-files
postinstall script properly, otherwise starting a login shell would have
run cygwin's /etc/profile that creates a user environment each time a
previously unknown user starts up. If this is the case, rerunning
setup.exe and selecting base-files for reinstallation may fix your situation.
