Some more results in case they highlight something.
1. After running startxwin.sh, my cmd prompt showed these last lines:
<<
...
(--) Using preset keyboard for "English (United Kingdom)" (809), type "4"
Rules = "xorg" Model = "pc105" Layout = "gb" Variant = "(null)" Options =
"(null
)"
>>
2. I was not put back to the $ prompt, but I could interact with something.
However, this resulted in error messages. After about 3 attempts, I was back
at the $ prompt. XWin etc still running though. No xterm window opened
(assuming one was supposed to)

3. More tests. These may be a bit hard to follow, given no ability to
format. Will do my best.
3.1
==>I entered a: ? (well, why not!)
==> the log and cmd window displayed:
<<
Welcome to the XWin X Server
Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project
Release: 6.8.2.0-4
Contact: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com
_XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root
XWin was started with the following command line:
X
winCheckDisplayNumber - Cygwin/X is already running on display 0
Fatal server error:
InitOutput - Duplicate invocation on display number: 0. Exiting.
>>
==> This also resulted in a GUI error prompt saying much the same thing.
3.2
==> Entered another ? and a CR. Similar or same entries in the log (it gets
overwritten each time)
==> My final CR produced the following in the cmd window, which then exited
whatever it was'in', and put me back to $ prompt (the log did not contain
the same contents)

$ ?Welcome to the XWin X Server

The ps -ef at start of this append, show the three processes still running.
The X icon is in the system tray, but does not respond to mouse clicks.
4.
I exited the shell and then reran cygwin.bat. BTW, it does indeed take 60
secs to start.
The same 3 processes we still running.
I could kill xterm.
But xkbcomp responded with: bash: kill: (1804) - Resource temporarily
unavailable
And Xwin did nothing.
5.
Using Windows' Task Mgr to stop processes:
Ending xkbcomp resulted in Xwin going as well!? The cmd window displayed:
<<
JOrmerod@EREBOR-JO ~
$ (EE) Couldn't open compiled keymap file /tmp/server-0.xkm

I'll stop now.
