Hi!
I've managed to install cygwin/X on Windows 10. Now I'm looking for command
"startxwin" -- does not seen to exist. If following instructions from
https://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/setup.html it should be installed? Or is an
extra package selected needed beyond what is given in upper mentioned
handbook online?
If I start "XWin.exe -multiwindow" directly it starts and finishes
immediately. The recommended idea of creating an
executable "~/.startxwinrc" holding only "exec sleep infinity" does not
help. Same behaviour as before. Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

The documentation given at https://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/setup.html isn't
really clear about what packages shall be selected. It only states one
awaiting all others pulled in as dependencies. Since this isn't true it
might be better to give a list which ones to select.
Now the next problem:
xinit: giving up
xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused
xinit: server error
Any idea about this problem?

startxwin is in the xinit package. Personally I use xlaunch, in the
xlaunch package. xlaunch with no arguments fires up a GUI where you
can configure it and save an xlaunch file, e.g., ~/config.xlaunch.
I put a link to xlaunch in my Windows task bar, with the follow
command line it:
C:\cygwin64\bin\run.exe /bin/xlaunch -p /usr/bin -run /home/moss/config.xlaunch
You'll need to change paths for your file locations, of course.
It uses startxwin. Below is my personal .startxwinrc file for a sample. It
starts a couple of xterm windows and an emacs, all iconized. The emacs
geometry suits my high resolution screen. The "wait" is important - otherwise
things exit immediately and the X server terminates.
#!/bin/bash
xrdb -merge ${HOME}/.Xdefaults
xmodmap ${HOME}/.Xmodmap
UC="${USER} console"
xterm +tb -geometry 110x62+4+0 -T "${USER}" -n "${USER}" -name "${USER}" -bg rgbi:.0/.2/.2 -ls
-iconic &
xterm +tb -geometry 110x62-10+0 -T "${UC}" -n "${UC}" -name "${UC}" -bg rgbi:.5/.0/.1 -ls
-iconic &
emacs --chdir=${HOME} --no-splash --iconic --geometry=130x60+100+100 -T emacs &
wait

Tried it. Does not work. X11 is fired up and terminates immediately. I am
using:
~/.startxwinrc:
#!/bin/bash
xterm &
exec sleep infinity
changing "exec sleep infinity" to wait does not change anything.
"~/.startxwinrc" is mode 0755:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sct-muc user 42 30. Sep 09:12 .startxwinrc
And XLaunch is started with:
C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /bin/xlaunch -p /usr/bin -run
/home/sct-muc/.config/XLaunch/config.xlaunch
config.xlaunch holds:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<XLaunch WindowMode="MultiWindow" ClientMode="NoClient" LocalClient="True"
Display="0" RemoteProtocol="" LocalProgram="xterm" RemoteProgram="xterm"
RemoteHost="" RemoteUser="" XDMCPHost="" XDMCPBroadcast="False"
XDMCPIndirect="False" Clipboard="True" ExtraParams="" Wgl="True"
DisableAC="False" XDMCPTerminate="False" SSHKeyChain="False"
SSHTerminal="True" ExtraSSH=""/>

My config.xlaunch seems substantially different:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<XLaunch WindowMode="MultiWindow" ClientMode="StartProgram" LocalClient="True" Display="0"
RemoteProtocol="" LocalProgram=".startxwinrc" RemoteProgram="xterm" RemoteHost="" RemoteUser=""
XDMCPHost="" XDMCPBroadcast="False" XDMCPIndirect="False" Clipboard="True" ExtraParams="-unixkill
-listen tcp -clipboard -resize -engine 1 -emulate3buttons 100" Wgl="False" DisableAC="True"
XDMCPTerminate="False" SSHKeyChain="False" SSHTerminal="True" ExtraSSH=""/>
Note that I set to start the .atartxwinrc program locally. Also note the
extra parameters to the X server (though certainly not all of those are
relevant, just preferences).
You can also examine your /var/log/xwin/XWin.0.log file for clues.

bottom post on this list, please
Have you tried without any ~/.startxwinrc ?
