Unix sockets, Cygwin, SSH agents, and sadness
If that project https://github.com/buptczq/WinCryptSSHAgent had a pin timeout, it would be the perfect Windows ssh agent. It support named pipe, pagent shared memory and a UNIX socket under WSL2 using Hyper-V and socat.

Set up an SFTP server on Windows
Unlike Linux, Windows does not come with any tools for setting up an SFTP server. Even FileZilla Server, one of the most popular programs for setting up a FTP server, doesn't support SFTP out of the box. So, are there any other ways to set up an SFTP on Windows? Yes, of course. OpenSSH is a suite of programs for establishing secure connections to the server. sftp-server is one of the utility programs provided by OpenSSH, so this article will walk you through how to set up an SFTP server on Windows using OpenSSH. Originally, OpenSSH was only available on Linux, but Microsoft has ported it to Windows, so you can now use OpenSSH by downloading the zip file from here.

Win32-OpenSSH port forwading
It is mentioned in Win32-OpenSSH's scope that it does not support "VPN Forwarding". Is it the same thing as local/remote port forwarding (ssh -L, and ssh -R)? Can I forward port to and from Windows with Win32-OpenSSH installed on both client and server?

Which option to use: OpenPGP, PIV, FIDO2(-sk keys)
So, personally, I haven't been able to get FIDO2 keys to work at all on Windows, but I didn't try very hard because I'm set-up just fine with GPG for SSH. Apparently there have been a few bugs reported (ref, and linked issue.
