JohnTheRipper includes an old Cygwin version as part of its install, that has
not been updated to support your current Windows version. We have had a number
of these reports this last week.

This is just a warning to please upgrade Cygwin as explained at:

and please report the issue to whoever distributes the software that installed
the old Cygwin version.
