I tried to uninstall Cygwin per:

https://cygwin.fandom.com/wiki/Uninstalling_Cygwin


The instructions are partially incorrect.


I ran Cygwin64 Terminal, and stopped and removed Cygwin sshd:

2025-04-27 23:07:31 admin@dq67sw ~
$ cygrunsrv --stop cygsshd

2025-04-27 23:07:36 admin@dq67sw ~
$ cygrunsrv --remove cygsshd


I deleted the C:\cygwin64 directory.


I was unable to remove the Cygwin folder from the Start button apps menu.


https://www.makeuseof.com/windows-start-menu-add-remove-items/

Says:

"You can either display or remove all the items from this section. So,
there's no option for adding or removing just one specific thing.
However, you can remove particular apps from the "Most used" and
"Recently added" subsections."


"cygwin" is not present in the "Path" environment variable.


There is no environment variable "CYGWIN".


I ran Cygwin setup-x86_64.exe version 2.933 and installed the default 
Cygwin system.


I ran Cygwin setup-x86_64.exe version 2.933 and installed the package 
sshfs 3.7.2-2.


I restarted Windows.


When I run Cygwin64 Terminal and try to use sshfs:

admin@dq67sw ~
$ sshfs dpchrist@f5:/var/local/samba/dpchrist /samba
cygfuse: initialization failed: winfsp-x64.dll not found

admin@dq67sw ~
$ strace sshfs dpchrist@f5:/var/local/samba/dpchrist /samba 2>&1 | wc
     342    3370   35142

admin@dq67sw ~
$ strace sshfs dpchrist@f5:/var/local/samba/dpchrist /samba 2>&1 | gzip 
-9 > strace-sshfs.gz


strace-sshfs.gz is attached.
