This worked like a charm. So for example:
fs::path my_path("C:\\cygwin", fs::no_check);
works just as it is supposed to.

I managed to circumvent the problem with a bubblegum solution, but yours is 
more usable. My solution was to go back to the root(C:) with /../-steps and 
head back up from there. For example:
fs::path my_path("./../../../some_dir/some_subdir/");

Thanks Nat!
