I had problems with sshd not starting up reliably as a service, after I installing cygwin on a new system. I found that it was sometimes trying to start before the network was started, and didn't fare too well.
So, I did a cygrunsrv --remove sshd and then did cygrunsrv -I sshd -d "CYGWIN sshd" -p /usr/sbin/sshd -y "Browser" -a "-D" -e "CYGWIN=binmode ntsec tty" This makes the sshd service dependent on the browser, which is dependent on the network being up. Works great now!
