$ sc qc cygserver
will show how the service is currently configured e.g.

[SC] QueryServiceConfig SUCCESS

SERVICE_NAME: cygserver
         TYPE               : 10  WIN32_OWN_PROCESS
         START_TYPE         : 2   AUTO_START  (DELAYED)
         ERROR_CONTROL      : 1   NORMAL
         BINARY_PATH_NAME   : C:\cygwin64\bin\cygrunsrv.exe
         LOAD_ORDER_GROUP   :
         TAG                : 0
         DISPLAY_NAME       : CYGWIN cygserver
         DEPENDENCIES       :
         SERVICE_START_NAME : LocalSystem

 From an elevated prompt (run as Admin):

$ sc config cygserver binPath= $(cygpath -w $(which cygrunsrv))

or the Windows equivalent from an elevated cmd prompt:

> sc config cygserver binPath= F:\cygwin64\bin\cygrunsrv.exe

IIRC the space after the = is required.
