I was missing the xinit package and installed xinit 1.4.1-1 and then I got startxwin. It failed in the startup with messages that looks similar to the ones output to the log file: sbang@ITEM-S63383:~$ startxwin xauth: file /cygdrive/d/Profiles/sbang/.Xauthority does not exist xauth: file /cygdrive/d/Profiles/sbang/.Xauthority does not exist Welcome to the XWin X Server Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project Release: 1.20.5.0 OS: CYGWIN_NT-10.0-18363 ITEM-S63383 3.1.5-340.x86_64 2020-06-01 08:59 UTC x86_64 OS: Windows 10 [Windows NT 10.0 build 18363] (Win64) Package: version 1.20.5-3 built 2019-09-06 XWin was started with the following command line: /usr/bin/XWin :0 -multiwindow -auth /cygdrive/d/Profiles/sbang/.serverauth.1056 (II) xorg.conf is not supported (II) See http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html for more information LoadPreferences: /cygdrive/d/Profiles/sbang/.XWinrc not found LoadPreferences: Loading /etc/X11/system.XWinrc LoadPreferences: Done parsing the configuration file... winDetectSupportedEngines - RemoteSession: no winDetectSupportedEngines - DirectDraw4 installed, allowing ShadowDDNL winDetectSupportedEngines - Returning, supported engines 00000005 xinit: giving up xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused xinit: server error sbang@ITEM-S63383:~$ Starting with "XWin :0 -multiwindow -clipboard" outputs pretty much the same as the log file (X doesn't start): sbang@ITEM-S63383:~$ XWin :0 -multiwindow -clipboard Welcome to the XWin X Server Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project Release: 1.20.5.0 OS: CYGWIN_NT-10.0-18363 ITEM-S63383 3.1.5-340.x86_64 2020-06-01 08:59 UTC x86_64 OS: Windows 10 [Windows NT 10.0 build 18363] (Win64) Package: version 1.20.5-3 built 2019-09-06 XWin was started with the following command line: XWin :0 -multiwindow -clipboard (II) xorg.conf is not supported (II) See http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html for more information LoadPreferences: /cygdrive/d/Profiles/sbang/.XWinrc not found LoadPreferences: Loading /etc/X11/system.XWinrc LoadPreferences: Done parsing the configuration file... winDetectSupportedEngines - RemoteSession: no winDetectSupportedEngines - DirectDraw4 installed, allowing ShadowDDNL winDetectSupportedEngines - Returning, supported engines 00000005 sbang@ITEM-S63383:~$ -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
