[ I am new to cygwin so factor this into my answer...]
cygrunsrv -R SERVICE_NAME
Example: cygrunsrv -R sshd
You may also use the Windows services.msc Control Panel
to "disable" or set a service to "manual".
Note that manual service MAY still run if some other service
starts them -- manual doesn't mean a user/admin must start
them, only that the OS will not start them automatically
unless requested to do so by another process or by an actual
manual user/admin request.
I have been unable to use cygrunsrv to "modify" a service;
so far, I have always removed the service and re-added it.
