This is not cygwin problem.

Please try the following in command prompt without cygwin.

wmic > wmic_redirect.txt
wmic | more > wmic_pipe.txt

Then, open both text file using binary editor.
wmic_redirect.txt has \r\n in UTF16 encoding, however,
you will find wmic_pipe.txt has abnormal line endings.
