After I checked the syntax of the CMD command and was set to change the 
dash-c to a slash-C, I looked carefully at the PATH variable I had 
defined in Windows and found that I had prepended a misspelled Cygwin 
pathname as follows:

D:\cygwn\bin

I removed this and after I restarted Windows the 'cygserver' service, 
which had been set on Automatic, started successfully.

My sincere apologies to Igor, Corinna, and the other posters and readers 
for wasting your time.

Regards,

Alder
