Answer 2

Hello there, Is the machine connected to any domain? Could you check if the OpenSSH Server is updated via WSUS? If so, there might be some troubles during the installation. Microsoft delivers features on demand bypassing WSUS, so we do not get them via the internal update server. We could allow Windows to load optional features directly from Microsoft Update via group policy. Kindly find it under Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > System. At the same time, We could ensure that neither the setting "Do not connect to Windows Update Internet locations" nor "Remove access to use all Windows Update features" is in effect. Hope this resolves your Query !! --If the reply is helpful, please Upvote and Accept it as an answer--
