the command like:
nc -vuz 10.31.28.188 6110

It's possible that you are accustomed to using, or using a script
written for, the 'nc' command that was included in the 'netcat'
package, which was superceded in Cygwin some years ago. This could
have happened if you were using Cygwin 1.7 (I think) and then upgraded
to a brand new version of Cygwin. It is common, in my experience, that
someone would have installed an old version of Cygwin, used it for
years, and then upgraded to a new version.

What exactly does it say?
Because with UDP there are no connections, so there can not be any
successful connection.

The manual saying:

NC(1)                     BSD General Commands Manual                    NC(1)

NAME
     nc — arbitrary TCP and UDP connections and listens

SYNOPSIS
     nc [-46CDdhklnrStUuvz] [-I length] [-i interval] [-O length]
        [-P proxy_username] [-p source_port] [-s source] [-T toskeyword]
        [-V rtable] [-w timeout] [-X proxy_protocol] [-x proxy_address[:port]]
        [destination] [port]

DESCRIPTION
     The nc (or netcat) utility is used for just about anything under the sun
     involving TCP, UDP, or UNIX-domain sockets.  It can open TCP connections,
     send UDP packets, listen on arbitrary TCP and UDP ports, do port scan‐
     ning, and deal with both IPv4 and IPv6.  Unlike telnet(1), nc scripts
     nicely, and separates error messages onto standard error instead of
     sending them to standard output, as telnet(1) does with some.
     
     -u      Use UDP instead of the default option of TCP.  For UNIX-domain
             sockets, use a datagram socket instead of a stream socket.  If a
             UNIX-domain socket is used, a temporary receiving socket is cre‐
             ated in /tmp unless the -s flag is given.

PORT SCANNING
     It may be useful to know which ports are open and running services on a
     target machine.  The -z flag can be used to tell nc to report open ports,
     rather than initiate a connection.  For example:

EXAMPLES
     Open a UDP connection to port 53 of host.example.com:

           $ nc -u host.example.com 53
