This question comes up when I try to follow the answers in this StackOverflow question, to allow public-key authentication when logging into my machine running Windows 10. I tried all possible things mentioned in the answers and somehow I met with a very different problem.

On my end, if I start the sshd as a service using

Start-Service sshd

in a PowerShell with administrator privilege, I cannot remotely log into this machine (let's call it server) from another machine (let's call it client). However, if I simply start the sshd in the frontend using

sshd -d

I can successfully log into my server from my client.

Some information that might help:

  • OS Name: Microsoft Windows 10 Education
  • Windows Version: 10.0.19041 Build 19041

I would try first running the ssh daemon in debug mode to see the difference between

  • frontend
  • Powershell admin session

In both case, use sshd -D -e in order to trgiger a one-time daemon session which will display anything it receives, staying in foreground, and then shutdown.
