Does this mean you ran ssh-host-config to install the sshd service?

What does the Windows Event Log show? Is there anything in
/var/log/sshd.log (even though as installed by ssh-host-config, sshd
doesn't log there by default).

Are all the needed DLLs executable (run "cygcheck /usr/sbin/sshd.exe" to
list the DLLs)? Are all of them in the PATH for the service?

Since you ran from system bash, could you also verify that there are no
*user* mounts for the SYSTEM account?

In the future, please *attach* the output of cygcheck, to minimize false
positive hits in archive searches. Besides, your cut&paste seems to have
cut off the first column on some lines...
One more suggestion: add a script like
#!/bin/sh
date >> /var/log/test.log
env >> /var/log/test.log
echo "---------------------------------" >> /var/log/test.log
as a service called "test" with cygrunsrv (using the same options as your
sshd service), and try to start it. This should give you the exact
environment for the service (in /var/log/test.log), and might unearth some
clues.
HTH,
Igor
