Microsoft doesn't make a version of the X Window System - they instead have
Microsoft Windows, which is completely their implementation, not using our
API, protocol, design, or technology, just a similar name because both involve
putting applications in windows on the screen.

You're probably in the wrong place, which is why I kept suggesting you figure
out what software you're really running.  Xorg software is usually found on
systems running Linux or Unix, not Microsoft Windows.
