What about Windows 10 to 1809? Please run:
$ cmd /c ver
and post the output, to show your Windows release.

Please run:
$ which -a curl
and post the output, to see if there are any aliases, functions, or other
executables on your PATH which could change what's run.

For better help, please do what it says under Problem reports at the bottom,
summarized as run "cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out" and *ATTACH* the output
file as *PLAIN TEXT* - see your email client help for how to do this.

Even running Windows curl, I get:
$ /proc/cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/curl -v www.google.com
* Rebuilt URL to: www.google.com/
