That's not possible.  Windows always kills all processes started
within your logon session as soon as you leave the session.

If you want processes to run independently from your logon session,
you have to start them as Windows service.  Probably the cygrunsrv
tool can help you there, *if* you have the user right to create and
run a Windows service on your machine.
