I've downloaded and tested last night's build on a Windows 10 laptop,
it is typesetting with the built-in LilyPond ok.
If a File->New score does not typeset first test is to change the prefs
back to just "lilypond" and see if the built-in LilyPond works. If so
use File->New the File->Export->Export as LilyPond and then try to
typeset the resultant file with your 
C:\Program Files (x86)\LilyPond\usr\bin\lilypond-windows.exe

if that works then the finger of suspicion would point to a (possibly
invisible) typo in the prefs field (look in .denemo-2.5.6/denemorc for
the string, copy and paste it into the command.com prompt ...) or some
bug in Denemo handling windows paths (surely would have surfaced
sometime in the past 20 years...).
