Well, that would explain the problem. The vim you're using is
probably the tiny or small version. I just ran a small version and
confirmed that the comments option is not supported.
The Cygwin base install comes with only vim-minimal. You'll just
need to install the vim package. It's currently at 8.0.329.

Huge version without GUI. Features included (+) or not (-):
You'll want the vim-common package, too. I don't remember whether
or not it gets installed automatically when you install vim.
There's also a vim-doc package, but I don't have that one installed
and yet I have all the documentation available. I don't know what's
going on there. It wouldn't hurt to install vim-doc, too, though.
