Greetings, Harry Putnam!

That was years ago, when M$ had introduced SSH server of their own into
Windows10 Pro+ editions.

It may have left a record in the system's services list, but no actual binary
was left on the disk.
Or it was an old Cygwin versions that stumbled upon modern Windows and tripped
over standard SSH service name.

1. Make sure you are using updated 64-bit Cygwin install.
2. Check if there's no Cygwin sshd services installed (name is cygsshd).
3. Try again with `ssh-host-config`.
4. Provide logs of the command and `cygcheck -svr` if it fails again.
(gzip the cygcheck output, the list often rejects emails that are too big)
