Don't use a folder with a space in the filename, it will just cause problems.

Maybe there are no replies because no one had experienced that problem...

Because your folder name is "Taylor Meyer" and it has a space inside it. You should change that. Search iOSGods. I've made a support topic about changing it.

All you have to do is change your folder name then change a line inside a file to your new folder's name. It can't be any easier.

so here is the file i have to edit where it says # db_home: /home/%U

# /etc/nsswitch.conf

#

# This file is read once by the first process in a Cygwin process tree.

# To pick up changes, restart all Cygwin processes. For a description

# see https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-mapping-nsswitch

# Defaults:

# passwd: files db

# group: files db

# db_enum: cache builtin

# db_home: /home/%U

# db_shell: /bin/bash

# db_gecos: <empty>
