I don't know about Cygwin. Some time ago I managed to compile and run QE on Windows as described here:
www.quantum-espresso.org/Doc/user_guide/node14.html#SECTION00037700000000000000 (well, sort of: the executable that had been working at home refused to open directories when I used it in a hands-on session, much to my dismay). If you have Windows 10 you may enable the Windows Subsystem for Linux and run Linux from Windows. It is maybe not efficient for production, but I use it for development and it works very well.
