Try adding the exec option to fstab:

$ grep cygdrive /etc/fstab
# none /cygdrive cygdrive binary,posix=0,user 0 0
none /cygdrive cygdrive binary,posix=0,user,noacl,exec 0 0

$ which xcopy
/cygdrive/c/windows/system32/xcopy

$ ls -l /cygdrive/c/windows/system32/xcopy
-rwxr-xr-x 2 Lee None 47616 Sep 15  2018 /cygdrive/c/windows/system32/xcopy.exe
