See the '--interactive' flag of 'cygrunsrv'.  You'll need to uninstall and
reinstall the 'sshd' service to use this flag though.  Alternatively, you
can use the Windows "Services" admin applet to change the 'sshd' service.
Click on "Cygwin sshd", "Properties", the "Log on" tab, and then click
the "Allow service to interact with desktop".
