I want to have the opportunity to run a GUI app at Ubuntu via cron and via PuTTY from Windows.

I explain.

Example:

Computer 1: Windows 10
Computer 2: Ubuntu 18.04

I run ./firefox via PuTTY at Computer 1 then I come to Computer 2, login and see opened firefox. Firefox is an example. I need to run any GUI app.

And I want to do the same action with cron.

Is it possible?

It is possible but you will have to fiddle a while. You need x forwarding with vnc, to allow disconnect and reconnect.
