I figured out my problem.
I learned that startxwin.bat will hang in this manner if when
You install Cygwin, you choose DOS instead of UNIX for the
Default text mode prompt. I reinstalled Cygwin with a default
Text mode of UNIX and all works as expected now.

Yes, I've tried using twm, and it appears to work fine.
I'm would prefer to use the multiwindow mode though, I'm just
not a big fan of twm.
I don't have a local firewall running on my machine.
Any further ideas on how to isolate?
Thanks,
Jim

Do you have a personal firewall or VPN software running? Try disabling
these.

You could try twm. At least it will reveal if other clients and window
manager
can connect to the xserver.
