I have often found that rebasing doesn't immediately fix fork failures
until I reboot. (My guess is that this is due to some kind of caching
that Windows does.) I suggest that you try the following:
1. Run /usr/bin/rebase-trigger full again.
2. Reboot.
3. Make sure there are no Cygwin processes running. (Don't forget about
services.)
4. Rerun setup, and don't refuse any suggested dependencies. Be sure to
install or reinstall texlive-collection-basic, whether or not setup
suggests it.
If you still have problems and have to write again, please attach
cygcheck output as requested here:
