For problematic processes, I use kill -W -- that uses the TerminateProcess Win32 API, rather than Cygwin's POSIX implementation. I also use it to kill things like the Windows Update full-screen overlay on Windows 10.

That's handy to know. Thank you very much!

  Whups. It's ps -W to find PIDs for Windows processes, and kill -f to use TerminateProcess. Got the two flags confused; you usually use one with the other.
