I upgraded from Win 7 to Win 10 and I am not able to run a tar command
on my files. Everything was working as it should before that. I will
add that I am working on backup files and if something goes wrong I
can lose like a year and a half of full day / week work. The name of
my user is 01 and all files and folders are now showing as
Unknown+User and Unknown+Group. Please let me know how to make it
work.
Thanks.

Not addressing the cygwin issue, but the first thing you should do is to make a copy
of all of your files using a method that will not care about the permissions. I you
have space on a backup drive, use a tool like clonezilla to make an image of the
entire drive.
If you do not have space to to that, use a live linux distribution to copy all of the
files you need to a backup drive.
Don't mess around with untried solutions until you have a backup.
