Where did you found Emacs 26.3 for Windows? The official FTP site has only 26.2 as the latest Windows binary.

This might not matter for your case specifically, but last time I was on Windows, I found it straightforward to compile it using the msys tooling. I mention msys specifically to avoid bringing cygwin.dll into the mix, which caused me no end of headaches.
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/tree/nt/INSTALL.W...
As with most things in that realm, the hard part is getting all the dependencies (libpng, etc) but (a) since msys2 switched to pacman that looks a ton easier (b) AFAIK building with those graphical libraries is a nice-to-have for w3m support, so if it's a hassle you can skip it
Just be forewarned that [again, last I checked] msys has a bad interaction if your machine is a member of an Active Directory domain, but you are road-warrior-ing and it is unable to reach the domain controller; one of my more popular SO answers: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/929495/why-is-mingw-very...
