Sure -- will do moving forward.

Presumably on a machine running the cygwin sshd, correct?

OK -- but my question wasn't so much about using openSSH, but rather, 
how to do an install of Cygwin ssh on a Win 10 machine, which already 
has a native ssh server client 'bult in'. A number of us have tried 
using the standard approaches for installing cygwin and having sshd run 
as a service (approaches that worked fine on Win 7, and pre-1803 builds 
of WIn 10), but have had problems with Windows complaining (or, if not 
complaining, not allowing a different sshd). It seems as if you need to 
'turn off' or 'uninstall' something with recent Win 10 builds to get 
Cygwin sshd to install -- and work -- as a service.  That is the step 
some of us  are hoping someone can step us through.
