it seems your cygwin package was not update correctly:

cygwin                     2.9.0-3                      OK

but

  3238k 2017/04/01 C:\cygwin64\bin\cygwin1.dll - os=4.0 img=0.0 sys=5.2
                   "cygwin1.dll" v0.0 ts=2017-04-01 20:47
Cygwin DLL version info:
         DLL version: 2.8.0

May be is not the root cause but you should reinstall the package
with no running process. Including services
