FastTracker II / Scream Tracker. Yes, they
were DOS, but Win 3.11 ran on top of DOS.
Cubase was in 1992, two years after Scream Tracker. Nobody had disk space for Cubase back then though?

Saw Pro if memory serves, was the first to have actual audio recorded onto a pc.
What sound do dreams make when they die?

Bigwig?
Jk, I thought it was Twelve Tone Systems/Cakewalk, too.

Probably SAW.

Around 1992, the first Windows based DAWs started to emerge from companies such as IQS Innovative Quality Software which today is SAWStudio, Soundscape Digital Technology (which was later acquired by Mackie then by SSL), SADiE, Echo Digital Audio and Spectral Synthesis.

What was that old Mac DAW called that introduced audio channels and had "super awesome intro demo videos you totally have to watch"? Anyway, Trent Reznor swore by it until it stopped working and he had to switch to windows, much to his dismay. I don't get it when people despise what actually works?

Trackers aren't DAWs. They definitely were the first digital audio sequencers on PC, though. They didn't run under Windows either. Usually quite explicitly so. The ones from back then couldn't even be abused into being multitrack linear audio players. Their sample size limits were too small and bit depths too low to do anything but low quality short bits. They didn't even support stereo samples. Today's trackers like Renoise are a different story, though you're still chaining samples together and triggering them with notes.
My vote was going to be Cubase or Master Tracks. I hadn't heard of Saw Studio. Interesting.
Master Tracks Pro in Windows, on a Turtle Beach Multisound Pinnacle, was where I first did multitrack audio in 1995(?). Cakewalk Pro Audio was a year or two later. Wheeee, the old days...!
