XWin server fails to start with xkbcomp keymap failure

Updated cygwin on Dec 23 then was no longer able to start XWin. Windows 10 Pro fully updated. Saw similar problems occurring in the past on Google.

A log of the attempt is attached with cygcheck /usr/bin/xkbcomp. Tried several of the legacy suggestions without success. Any suggestions?
