For the archives, would you say which software was causing the problem?
I was using Avast, free software.
Then I recommend uninstalling it and switching to Windows Defender. I predict that your problems will not return.

I use AVG which also has a free version (http://free.avg.com/us-en/free-antivirus-download).
Once in a while, it tries to "vault" a cygwin executable. I just tell it to put it back
and leave it alone. There's probably a way to tell it to just ignore the whole cygwin
directory, but the problem has not come up enough to warrant looking up how to do this.
Good luck.
