Ignore my earlier suggestion.

You can also remove the above settings.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Use the following setting instead.
`org-default-apps' uses the value of `org-file-apps-defaults-gnu' for
cygwin as well. You just need to remove the mailcap entry in that
variable and replace it with "cygstart" as below.
(eval-after-load 'org
'(when (eq system-type 'gnu/linux)
(setcdr (assq 'system org-file-apps-defaults-gnu ) "cygstart %s")
(setcdr (assq t org-file-apps-defaults-gnu ) "cygstart %s")))
----------------------------------------------------------------
As you rightly suggest, `org-default-apps' doesn't handle `system-type'
value of 'cygwin.
