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.
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.

1The 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: https://stackoverflow.com/a/28857280/4036475 – Sean McCallum Jan 01 '20 at 18:18
