Just did a Cygwin update on my Windows 10 box and after restarting X11 I
found the keyboard layout switched back to the default (Qwerty) from my
normal (Dvorak).
From the X11 logs:
[2516952.656] (--) Setting autorepeat to delay=500, rate=31
[2516952.656] (--) Windows keyboard layout: "00010409" (00010409) "United

So, this *isn't* the old culprit of xkbcomp not working, because there is
no error there.
I reverted back to 2.37-1 of "xkeyboard-config" and everything is working
fine again, so it is the culprit in some way.
Thanks for reporting this.
This seems to be due to a change in xkeyboard-config [1]
It looks like I need to update the table which maps from Windows to XKB
keyboard layouts (so that US dvorak maps to layout=us variant=dvorak,
rather than just layout=dvorak), which is built into the X server.
As a workaround in the meantime, you can use an explicit 'setxkbmap us
dvorak', or keep on downgrading xkeyboard-config.
