Sergei,

The fact that the service doesn't work after system boot and then works
fine after a restart seems to suggest that it's started too early (before
some other service).  You need to discover what that service is (could be
the firewall service, or Tcp/ip, or something else) and add a dependency
to it by using the -y cygrunsrv option.  Your cygcheck output confirms
that your apache service has no dependencies.
HTH,
	Igor
