Cygwin service not starting - is it port 22 issue or OpenSSH already installed?
In our environment Cygin is used for the secured FTP logins. We used to face lot more difficulties in installing / troubleshooting related to Cygwin. Some times installation will go smoothly however sshd service won't start due to so many reasons, here goes one of the reason and solution -
SSHD on Windows servers and issues with Cygwin SSHD
Common issues on CYGWIN: SSHD service not starting
Description: different issues like in-proper cygwin installation, login from different user and install will have issues, home directory not creating etc
Resolution: login from local admin and try to install the cygwin software, will have less issues.
Note: Make sure you don't have already cygwin folder in C or D drives before you install
