 Is it possible to run (and automatically start) XWin as windows service?

Possible? Yes.

You can't run an arbitrary executable as a service, you need to use the cygwin
service wrapper cygrunsrv to make it respond to service control messages.

However, this is not the way to achieve what you want to do. Google Allow
service to interact with desktop to learn why...

Running it from the Startup program group is the correct approach.
