My cygwin installation can display simple X11 clients such as xterm. A

Windows Task Manager says "not responding."
This problem occurs with recent releases of Cygwin/X11. The attached
cygcheck.out indicates the last X11 version that works well: 1.18-4.1.
All other cygwin packages are up to date.
Thanks for reporting this problem.
Unfortunately, I couldn't reproduce it.
However, I suspect this may be caused by switching to the smart
scheduler by default in xorg-server 1.19.0-1.
So, the first thing I'd suggest you try is adding -dumbSched to the X
server options to see if this makes a difference (e.g. 'startxwin --
-dumbSched'
