This sounds like the known problem with 3.3.4-1, discussed several times
on this list today already.

Please try the new 3.3.4-2 release, discussed at
<https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin-announce/2022-January/010439.html>.
If your normal mirror hasn't picked that release up yet, you'll need to
either find a more up-to-date mirror, or wait until your current mirror
has picked up that release.

This shouldn't be necessary, at least if you were using one of the
mirrors offered by default by the installer: I believe all the official
mirrors are required to keep full copies of previous releases, so you
should have been able to select 3.3.3-1 (or indeed any of several older
releases) by selecting the version you wanted from the drop-down in the
installer.
