Windows 10: cannot connect to Windows box via ssh anymore

For years I have had OpenSSH set up in windows 10 pro with little to no issue. With the occasional service being disabled by an update, I have had no trouble finding these kinds of issues and fixing them.

For the last month I have not been able to get OpenSSH to work. I attempt to connect and the connection just closes. I have checked the firewall settings. Used microsofts recommended settings for it. Checked my router, regenerated my private key and wiped out the known hosts file to start new.



NOTHING is working. The worst part is it wont log anything either. I an currently running sshd.exe -d in powershell as admin trying to connect and see if anything is erroring out. It gives me nothing. It says it is listening on 0.0.0.0 port 22. But no matter what I try I cant get anything but the local user to connect.

What am I missing here? Are there logs I can look at? did KB4551762 (around the time it just stopped working) just break it? I am uninstalling it now just in case. But in the eventual event that that does not work, anyone have any suggestions before I throw my computer out of the window?

ssh and Windows 10 Not Working

There are two desktop computers in my home:

One running Debian Linux and one running Windows 10.

They both access the Web through a wireless router (Verizon).

The issue is that I cannot access the Windows box via ssh (OpenSSH or PuTTY).

I am able to access the Linux box from the Windows box - via ssh (via both OpenSSH and PuTTY).



For the sake of simplicity and in order to eliminate Linux from the equation, I tried:

ssh localhost

ssh 192.168.1.2

ssh HOME



ssh matt@localhost

ssh matt@192.168.1.2

ssh matt@ HOME

(where localhost, 192.168.1.2, and HOME are all the Windows box).

None of those 3 worked - either in PuTTY or in OpenSSH.

I either get:

Connection to localhost closed by remote host.

Connection to localhost closed.



Or I get:

ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.2 port 22: Connection timed out

-

I wanted to make sure that I could access this PC from another in one way or another
- so I went ahead and created a homegroup which this computer and another household Windows 10 (laptop) are part of. That other Windows 10 PC
is able to access this PC (and, for what it's worth, this PC can access the laptop).

Note that a firewall runs on the Windows box. But I get the same results whether it's up or down.

Anyone know what's going on?

TIA, Matt
