Cygwin needs to be running Windows 10 in dev mode with WSL installed to enable
this without elevation I think.
Otherwise you will need an elevated shell, and be careful if you use mklink, as
the arguments are swapped from ln:

Just close and reopen any cmd or other shell processes, including Windows File
Explorer, if necessary for Windows Shell Extensions, from Task Manager/Processes
tab/Windows Explorer/menu Restart.
