Cygwin/bash/mintty shortcut properties or command line should have 
"-" at end e.g.

	"C:\cygwin64\bin\mintty.exe -i /Cygwin-Terminal.ico -"

Otherwise does it have Windows line endings or permissions too open?

Windows line endings or permissions too open on directory 
(s/b drwx------) or private key files, config, known_hosts, 
authorized_keys (s/b _rw-------)?

Could sshd config have disabled allowing personal config files 
(common on corporate servers - have to talk to admins)?

If you have a passphrase on your key, you could use ssh-agent 
and ssh-add to avoid reverifying credentials on each connection.

Do you also need host keys in /etc/ssh_known_hosts or 
~/.ssh/known_hosts as well as your PPK pair?

If you are using a native Windows ssh client you may need to use 
something like Putty/Pageant/Plink to support SSH2 connections, 
or client or server could have limited crypto support requiring 
a specific PPK pair to be used to match both sides support.
