It's reasonably likely your `$PS1` includes a line to set the terminal title; I think the default Cygwin Bash profile files do that. If that's the case, an escape sequence command to set the terminal title will work, but will then be immediately reset by the Bash prompt being displayed. To check, run `echo "$PS1"` and see if that includes a bunch of escape sequences. If it does, to change that behaviour you'll need to work out which file is setting `$PS1` and fix it. It'll probably be one of `~/.bashrc`, `~/.profile` or `~/.bash_profile`. If that doesn't get you anywhere, read through the below, including the link on how to ask smart questions.
