MobaXterm has two editions Home and Professional. It is an ultimate toolbox where it provides several network tools and an unmatchable amount of functions in a single window. UPDATE: term, ansi-term, and multi-term do work in Cygwin emacs. MobaXterm is one of the best all-in-one application for remote computing. Are there any particular applications that you would like to use that require full-featured terminal support? I was missing top at first but then I just started using M-x proced. I tried eshell many times but ended up using the shell mode with bash because I tend to use pipes and redirections a lot. Sometimes, you may encounter an error while trying to. You can have support for ANSI colors if you do (add-hook 'shell-mode-hook 'ansi-color-for-comint-mode-on) You open a terminal and use the program name to install it like this: sudo apt install packagename. Shell mode works fine with either Cygwin bash or Windows cmd (via cmdproxy which is part of Emacs install). It may work in Cygwin Emacs but I haven't used it in a long time because native W32 Emacs is so much better (for me).

Trying to force Emacs to use, say, Cygwin bash by editing references to e.g. 26.20 Using a Mouse in Terminal Emulators, Using the mouse in text-only. It looks like the main reason is all of them rely on low-level support for terminals (stty, etc) which is not provided by Windows. Emacs and Microsoft Windows/MS-DOS, Using Emacs on Microsoft Windows and. From my experience none of the terminal emulators in Emacs (term, ansi-term, multi-term) is supported under Windows.
