This might be due to the same bug that was reported in

   https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2017-03/msg00280.html

and was fixed by rebuilding emacs.  Please update to the current emacs 
release (25.2-1) and see if the problem is still there.

BTW, I'm puzzled by your cygcheck output, which doesn't even show that 
emacs is installed.
