After I start EmacsW32, the value of the variable cua-mode is t, but
the CUA keys don't work.  I have to toggle it off and on using
either the cua-mode function or the menu option.

That is expected. You can not turn a minor mode on like that. You can 
either use

   M-x customize-option

or turn on cua-mode with the minor mode function.
