Its parent process, Bash, is not shown, so this process is an orphan.
Can you kill it from Process Explorer (by pressing Del)?  If you can,
does Emacs get out of the lockup?

Next thing to try is to run es.exe from cmdproxy, not from the Cygwin
Bash.

I think this is the PID of Bash that already exited.

It does.  We now know that Bash exits (or crashes?) and es.exe is left
behind.

Try without Bash.
