I wouldn't expect this to work, because of the '&'. Here's what I see when I
run that command interactively:
$ emacsclient -n -c --alternate-editor=""&
[1] 10404
$ ps
PID PPID PGID WINPID TTY UID STIME COMMAND
[...]
S 10404 6660 10404 9300 pty0 197609 14:21:41
/usr/bin/emacsclient-X11
Putting emacsclient in the foreground makes it run as expected:
$ fg
emacsclient -n -c --alternate-editor=""
emacsclient: can't find socket; have you started the server?
To start the server in Emacs, type "M-x server-start".

And just running emacsclient in the foreground to begin with also works as
expected for me.

This works fine for me also:
$ emacs-w32 --daemon -q

Your cygcheck output shows two cygwin1.dlls in your path:
3373k 2017/07/12 D:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll - os=4.0 img=1.0 sys=4.0
"cygwin1.dll" v0.0 ts=2017-07-12 09:53
Cygwin DLL version info:
DLL version: 2.8.2

2586k 2010/08/31 \\a1\utils\cygwin1.dll - os=4.0 img=1.0 sys=4.0
"cygwin1.dll" v0.0 ts=2010-08-31 08:58
Cygwin DLL version info:
DLL version: 1.7.7
[...]
Warning: There are multiple cygwin1.dlls on your path
I don't know if this could cause the problems you're seeing, but could you try
removing \\a1\utils from your path and see if that helps?
