You probably have a Cygwin icon on your desktop. If so, double click
it, which will open a text mode Bash shell. In the Bash shell, type
'startx', which will open an X-Windows mode Bash shell. In the new
shell, type 'grass61'.

Maybe GRASS will start, but if it does not, you will at least see the
error messages, and thus get closer to the problem.
