"man cron"
"man crontab"
'at' is a windows command using the windows task scheduler. It's more
straightforward to use cron with cygwin.

Yes. Cron is preferable in this situation to at, as mentioned above.

Simple:
1. Read the docs. /usr/share/doc/cron has the generic cron documentation,
even more importantly /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/cron.README has the cygwin
specific stuff.
2. Use the supplied script /bin/cron-config to set it up correctly.
