Greetings, Ernie Rael!

Open Windows Firewall (cygstart WF.msc), find all your sshd rules and trash
them. Manually create (or tweak Windows sshd one) a single rule for port
rather than executable.
Additionally, to resolve conflicts with stock sshd, create a file
%ProgramData%\ssh\sshd_config with single line `Port 2022` (for example).
Bingo. Many thanks.
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 :-)
