You could start xwinclip with a link like this to prevent the DOS Window

D:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -l -c "xwin +kb -xkbmap de -query murpel -from 
192.168.1.2 -fp tcp/192.168.1.1:7100 -dpi 100 -once -ac  &"

you need to restart it manually if it stops working. I have a bash shell

xwinclip --display 127.0.0.1:0.0
CTRL-C if it stops working and restart.
