Honestly, this was new for me, too. Formerly, install with a following reboot
was all I needed
to do (since I'm not a power user on my work PC, that was the only way for me to
"restart"
the service, anyways). But now the reboot alone does not seem to help anymore:
looks like
Win10 loads up services in a different (fast) fashion, like a wake-up from
hibernate.
So an explicit restart of cygserver is now required (and now I have to ask
sysadmin
to do that for me at work -- sigh).
I have modified my Cygwin services definitions to do Delayed Autostart
and Preshutdown, with appropriate Windows service and
inter-dependencies, shut them down and restart them in local scheduled
tasks run under SYSTEM account on appropriate events and on demand, and
restart them in a late local permanent postinstall script
/etc/postinstall/zp_z0_l_start_services.dash after setup.
Some combination of these techniques may allow your sysadmin to set
things up for you to control these services without their intervention.
