sshd

Tue Feb 15 17:20:12 GMT 2022

It's a similar issue even after I tried to reinstall it on different drive (E) instead of C. Strange thing I am facing is I can connect with ssh sometimes and sometime it errors out. 
Thank You!

I'd never opened the Windows Firewall before (IIRC), I didn't get the other references, looking around I ran into some windows defender thing, that said it had never run before, so I ignored it and figured it wasn't the firewall. I didn't realize the firewall was so pervasive.
Anyway, I found some sshd rules that referenced "C:/cygwin64/..." and a few years back I'd reinstalled cygwin on F: to get it off of C:, but the rules were never updated. So change "C" to "F" in a couple spots and now it connects.
Thanks again,

PS Now I can track down why rsync asks for a passwd but ssh doesn't :-)
