Bug ID: 3573 Summary: sshd service crashes with "error 1067: Service terminated unexpectedly" when I try to start it in Windows 11 Product: Portable OpenSSH Version: 8.6p1 Hardware: Other OS: Windows 11 Status: NEW Severity: minor Priority: P5 Component: sshd Assignee: unassigned-b...@mindrot.org Reporter: sirleeofstanf...@gmail.com I cannot seem to start the openssh server service in Windows 11 (sshd). I've tried to start the service from PowerShell and through Windows 11 Services App. When I try to start the service in the Services App, it tries to start the service but crashes and gives me error 1067: service terminated unexpectedly. When I try to start the service from the command line in PowerShell, I get this message (I'll just cut and paste it): PS C:\Users\sirle> start-service sshd start-service : Failed to start service 'OpenSSH SSH Server (sshd)'. At line:1 char:1 + start-service sshd + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : OpenError: (System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController:ServiceController) [Start-Service], ServiceCommandException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : StartServiceFailed,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.StartServiceCommand My machine's specs are as follows: Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 with Radeon Graphics 3.90Ghz Installed RAM: 8GB OS: Windows 11 Pro version 22H2 OS build: 22621.1702 Experience: Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22641.1000.0 Manufacturer: HP I bought this PC brand new, so this is the stock OS. Since it's still under warranty, I tried to contact HP Support, but they told me that because it's a Windows Service that is crashing, I need to talk to Microsoft. So I contacted Microsoft Support, and they very rudely told me that sshd is not a part of the Operating System, so it's a problem with the software and I need to contact OpenSSH for support. It's not a huge emergency because I was able to get RDP to work, so I can remote using RDP but I just can't get SSHD to start. I would just like to have that as an option too because I like the security that SSH provides. Also, I should mention that before I contacted HP Support, I did try to uninstall and reinstall the OpenSSH Server, but that had no effect. I'm still getting the same error. Also, before I posted this, I did try to search for my problem in the bug reports that exist already, but I couldn't find one that matched my exact circumstances. I apologize in advance if I post this in the wrong section. Please forgive me, I'm just trying to fix this issue on my PC. Thank you for your time.
