This is exactly what Larry has been referring to. Services are running in a separate desktop session since Vista.

This is not a problem, this is a security feature. If you desperately want to interact with user session, run SSHD in that user's session. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Thursday, February 11, 2016 14:51:36 Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
