Windows 10: OpenSSH on windows 10 asks for password even though there is none

I'm trying to ssh into a pc that has no password (and I don't want it to have one either) but when I try to ssh from another windows pc it still asks for a password, it justs says permission denied, I have also tried enabling "Empty passwords" in the sshd config but no result

OpenSSH on Windows 10 for ARM

Hi,

please try to use OpenSSH portable from
https://github.com/PowerShell/OpenSSH-Portable

Unfortunately I could not find information about OpenSSH in Windows 10 for ARM.

 

Having trouble getting the built-in OpenSSH server to work

Goal: I'm trying to set up the Windows built-in OpenSSH server (version 0.0.1.0, as I recall that being the latest one) in order to use my desktop PC remotely should I have the need for raw performance when on the road through a Windows
10 laptop.

Problem: Despite following
the official guide to the letter, when I try to run "Start-Service sshd" in PowerShell I get this error:

Code:

    Start-Service : Service 'OpenSSH SSH Server (sshd)' cannot be started due to the following error: Palvelun sshd avaamin    en tietokoneessa . epäonnistui.    At line:1 char:1    + Start-Service sshd    + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~        + CategoryInfo          : OpenError: (System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController:ServiceController) [Start-Service],       ServiceCommandException        + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CouldNotStartService,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.StartServiceCommand

If I run the executable without "Start-Service", however, it runs and seemingly waits for connections, but according to the Services tab in Task Manager it's not actually doing anything at all, nor is there an SSH user account associated
with it.

What I've tried:

• Restarting Windows (after every installation)
• Uninstalling and re-installing both the server and the client (both from PowerShell and through the Settings application)
• Switched to local account instead of a Microsoft account (suggested on a forum thread, tried the previous steps again)
• Using an elevated PowerShell instance with admin rights

System information:

• Windows 10 Home, version 1809, build 17763.379
• Hardware configuration:
  • CPU: i9-9900k @ 4.9GHz
  • RAM: 32GB 3200MHz DDR4
  • GPU: Asus ROG Strix GTX 1080
  • Motherboard: Asus PRIME Z390-A, BIOS version 0805

Let me know if other information is required.
