Steps to reproduce
The default-machine (MobyLinuxVM) isn’t found within cygwin (because of 11892 - should-mobylinux-appear-in-the-results-from-docker-machine-ls). Creating a new one is neccessary (either in admin-cygwin-shell or admin-powershell):
~> docker-machine create --driver hyperv default

To see how to connect your Docker Client to the Docker Engine running on this virtual machine, run: C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\Resources\bin\docker-machine.exe env default
A non-admin cygwin-shell will report:
~ > docker-machine env default
Error checking TLS connection: Host is not running
~ > docker-machine ls
NAME ACTIVE DRIVER STATE URL SWARM DOCKER ERRORS
default - hyperv Unknown
An admin cygwin-shell will report:
~ > docker-machine ls
