Answer 1

I have faced exactly same problem. AS Matthieu suggested we have to add some key-exchange algoritm in sshd-config file present in cygwin>etc>sshd_config. I have just added following and its worked for me,

KexAlgorithms diffie-hellman-group1-sha1,curve25519-sha256@libssh.org,ecdh-sha2-nistp256,ecdh-sha2-nistp384,ecdh-sha2-nistp521,diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256,diffie-hellman-group14-sha1

But the file itself is in read only mode so we have to provide it all access like read,write and execute though comand prompt. "chmode 777 sshd_config". then add above mention algorithms. stop the sshd service through "net stop sshd" and then start it "net start sshd".

Have fun....
