'pslist' from Sysinternals (owned by MS) will tell you the Windows priority.

<https://learn.microsoft.com/en-ca/sysinternals/downloads/pslist>

As for mapping Cygwin priorities to Windows, I ran a test using
'renice' to change the priority of a job and found the follosing
non-linear mapping:
Cygwin priority   1-3 is Windows priority 8
Cygwin priority  4-11 is Windows priority 6
Cygwin priority 12-19 is Windows priority 4

I only tested priorities 1 to 19.
