strace is not the tool for the job here.

As 'man strace' says: "The strace program executes a program [...] 
reporting any Cygwin DLL output from the program(s) to stdout"

(So strace just shows some general "debugging output" from inside the 
Cygwin DLL.  It perhaps should try to act a bit more like a real strace 
on UNIX, reporting all the emulated syscalls and their results, but that 
would require explicit annotation of all of those points inside the 
cygwin DLL.)

In any case, it isn't a tool for tracing native Windows programs. I 
suggest you use procmon, or some other similar native tool.
