OK Here are results in a system-owned shell:
MINERVA(~)$ /usr/sbin/cron -D
[2452] cron started
 I hit Conrol C
MINERVA(~)$ ps -a
      PID    PPID    PGID     WINPID  TTY  UID    STIME COMMAND
     3084       1    3084       3084  con   18 12:13:00 /usr/bin/bash
     2880    3084    2880       2324  con   18 12:14:37 /usr/bin/ps
MINERVA(~)$ cygrunsrv -S cron
MINERVA(~)$ ps -a
      PID    PPID    PGID     WINPID  TTY  UID    STIME COMMAND
     3084       1    3084       3084  con   18 12:13:00 /usr/bin/bash
     3200       1    3200       3200    ?   18 12:14:59 /usr/bin/cygrunsrv
     3396    3200    3396        900    ?   18 12:14:59 /usr/sbin/cron
     3432    3084    3432        912  con   18 12:15:08 /usr/bin/ps
MINERVA(~)$ cygrunsrv -S sshd
cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus:  Win32 error 1053:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely
fashion

      PID    PPID    PGID     WINPID  TTY  UID    STIME COMMAND
     3084       1    3084       3084  con   18 12:13:00 /usr/bin/bash
     2700       1    2700       2700    ?   18 12:56:26 /usr/bin/cygrunsrv
     2280    3084    2280       2888  con   18 12:56:46 /usr/bin/ps
MINERVA(~)$ kill -9 2700
MINERVA(~)$ cygrunsrv --verbose -Q sshd
Service             : sshd
Display name        : CYGWIN sshd
Current State       : Stopped
Command             : /usr/sbin/sshd -D
stdin path          : /dev/null
stdout path         : /var/log/sshd.log
stderr path         : /var/log/sshd.log
Environment         : CYGWIN="ntsec"
Process Type        : Own Process
Startup             : Automatic
Account             : LocalSystem
MINERVA(~)$ /usr/sbin/sshd -D

From another window
MINERVA(~)$ ps -a
      PID    PPID    PGID     WINPID  TTY  UID    STIME COMMAND
     3084       1    3084       3084  con   18 12:13:00 /usr/bin/bash
     3516    3084    3516       3396  con   18 13:57:36 /usr/sbin/sshd
     3964       1    3964       3964  con 1004 13:57:58 /usr/bin/bash
     3568    3964    3568       2080  con 1004 13:58:07 /usr/bin/ps
So you see that from a SYSTEM account the first service starts but second
service hangs.
If I use a bash shell own by me even rhe first does not start.
If one does not use cygrunsrv both cron and sshd start.
