You can try opening the Services Control Panel app (run "start 
services.msc" in a Command Prompt) and changing the startup type of 
service "Cygwin sshd" to "Automatic (Delayed Start)".

In theory, that was all you changed with your cygrunsrv command.

I routinely stop sshd with "net stop sshd" and re-start it later with 
"net start sshd".  If it's configure for manual startup, these commands 
should work just as well.

In cases where I have re-run ssh-host-config, I have first deleted the 
service with "sc delete sshd" as Administrator out of a desire not to 
confuse the config script with an existing service. But that may not be 
necessary.
