As for ConEmu, please use cygwin-connector.

What do you mean by "Microsoft Terminal"? Also, do you use cygwin vim?
If you mean "Windows Terminal" and cygwin vim, I cannot reproduce your

as well as with console (command prompt).

disable_pcon does not affect cygwin console behaviour. It is for pty.
