Would love if someone could help me get me back to my cozy Cygwin terminal.

Problem:
When I use the cygwin shortcuts to cygwin.bat or mintty.exe I am
getting a basic terminal.
1) The command prompt displays "-bash-4.1$" instead of
"username@directory" like before.

It sounds like PS1 isn't being set. This is normally done in /etc/profile. You might start by comparing /etc/profile with /etc/defaults/etc/profile. They should be identical unless you've customized /etc/profile at some point.


The postinstall script for the base-files package should have taken care of updating /etc/profile, so you could also check to make sure the script was executed.
