Disown process from cygwin bash

Question

There is a way to properly disown process from cygwin bash?

for example i can run in background

/cygdrive/c/Windows/notepad.exe &

and the notepad window shows but when i close the bash using Ctrl+D or typing exit the bash window remain open

Sorry, Not a programming question. Voting to move to Superuser.com. Good luck.
using disown the job is removed by job list but the problem remains: the windows never close until i close the notepad.exe

cygstart notepad

Or, if you're using mintty:

setsid notepad

(setsid is in the util-linux package.)

I'd try with nohup as explained in this response to a similar question.
