Are your Cygwin and ssh servers allowed or supported by your sysadmins?

Could they have changed some protection settings or policies to block the 
programs or connections on Saturday?

Are your hosts running antivirus and could they have been changed or upgraded 
Saturday? See BLODA:

	https://cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#faq.using.bloda

Are your hosts running Cygwin or Windows SSH servers?
Check that they are not trying to run both, or running only Windows SSH, that 
your system and servicea startup ensures that, and did not change Saturday!

Check your firewall rules did not change Saturday to drop allowing incoming ssh 
connections or make other changes to them.

Try running sh -vx /etc/postinstall/ca-certificates.sh to see if and where it is 
getting stuck.
Also sh -vx /etc/postinstall/ca-certificates-letsencrypt.sh if you are allowing 
letsencrypt certs.
If you are using any additional external or internal CAs or certs, check that 
they are still installed and working.

This all assumes you are running current Cygwin and ssh packages.
In any case it is useful to follow the Cygwin problem reporting guidelines 
appended to each post below, by replying to the list with a copy of the output 
from running `cygcheck -hrsv > cygcheck-hrsv.log` on a failing system attached 
as text, with any other relevant details of your Windows systems.
