This is not helpful. Cygwin setup-x86-64.exe not being able to update,
because SOMETHING is locking cygwin1.dll is in the top 50 of your IT
support, right followed by the question of IT support whether
"updating to WSL" will solve the situation for them permanently.

sc query cygserver is EASY to detect.

IMO Cygwin needs a serious effort towards
user-friendliness-by-default. Right now Cygwin is a specialist
environment which requires half an university degree to get it
working, and that makes me unhappy because your work is GREAT

Seriously, who has TWO Cygwin setups on one machine? Also, sc query
can handle those cases too.
