Cygwin setup is a Windows app using Windows libraries built using open tools.

*NOT* by default on W2016 for SCHANNEL and may need enabled for both CLIENT and 
SERVER uses:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/identity/ad-fs/operations/manage-ssl-protocols-in-ad-fs#enable-and-disable-tls-12

Cygwin setup is written like most other Windows GUI apps, but you can clone the 
sources, modify, and build it using only Cygwin tools.

Are any of them running legacy Server instances?

It's possible that W2016 might not support the root CA, support available TLS 
1.2 Cipher suites (although that seems unlikely with the WEAK ratings), TLS 1.3, 
HTTP2, etc:
