I'm trying to install new packages in cygwin, but when I get to the package list it's empty with the message "Nothing to Install/Update".

Select Full in the View drop-down list in the top left of the package list view.

Selecting **Full** in the **View** drop-down list in the Cygwin Setup package list view.

The package list view defaults to Pending when running the setup again after Cygwin is already installed.

This Q&A is posted as a quick answer for anyone else that didn't see the View drop-down option right away.

this doesn't work for me. still not showing any packages.
do note that it's a 32-bit install
The only thing I can think of is a problem with your internet, maybe the firewall? Looks like there's a workaround you can use though: stackoverflow.com/a/28857280/4036475

Picking a new mirror resolved this for me, strangely.
