When you launch sshd manually, it is run with your user. So sshd accept to
change the context from you to you.
If sshd is launch as a service, it uses the system account. Though if you
use public key (and no password), the authentication works fine, but when
spawning the process with the according right, it fails.

It seems to be a problem about ssh and cygwin : You have to use password to
change from one user to another.

So I suggest you disable PK and enable password : It should work fine.
