$ sc qc cygserver
will show how the service is currently configured e.g.
[SC] QueryServiceConfig SUCCESS
SERVICE_NAME: cygserver
TYPE : 10 WIN32_OWN_PROCESS
START_TYPE : 2 AUTO_START (DELAYED)
ERROR_CONTROL : 1 NORMAL
BINARY_PATH_NAME : C:\cygwin64\bin\cygrunsrv.exe
LOAD_ORDER_GROUP :
TAG : 0
DISPLAY_NAME : CYGWIN cygserver
DEPENDENCIES :
SERVICE_START_NAME : LocalSystem
From an elevated prompt (run as Admin):
$ sc config cygserver binPath= $(cygpath -w $(which cygrunsrv))
or the Windows equivalent from an elevated cmd prompt:
> sc config cygserver binPath= F:\cygwin64\bin\cygrunsrv.exe
IIRC the space after the = is required.
