Meanwhile: another #Microsoft booboo
Microsoft has confirmed that last month's Windows security updates are breaking SSH connections on some Windows 11 22H2 and 23H2 systems - "Following the installation of the October 2024 security update, some customers report that the OpenSSH (Open Secure Shell) service fails to start, preventing SSH connections,"

"The service fails with no detailed logging, and manual intervention is required to run the sshd.exe process."
