    What permissions do you have set on C:\ProgramData\ssh? Anything other than Administrators and System?

    I checked my test VM where I have SSH installed, and it had the same error. I don't use that machine very much, so I have no idea when the problem started.

    I found this link. https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH/issues/2287

    It does seem to be permissions related. I had granted access to other accounts. When I reset the permissions back to just system and administrators then the service started.

    Here is what I ran from a "run as administrator" command prompt.

    icacls.exe "C:\ProgramData\ssh"  /reset /t 
icacls.exe "C:\ProgramData\ssh"  /inheritance:r  /inheritance:d   /grant  "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(OI)(CI)(F)" /grant "BUILTIN\Administrators:(OI)(CI)(F)"
