Reproduce the issue with the listed VS Code Remote-SSH steps, comparing affected and unaffected sshd versions and the plain ssh user@host case. Review install-sshd.ps1 and the displayed code-server-insiders.cmd launch command while checking how the server process is presented. Done means VS Code stays connected without a visible server-side cmd.exe window.

Area-sshd Area-Terminal Investigate Issue-Regression
Prerequisites
  • Write a descriptive title.
  • Make sure you are able to repro it on the latest version
  • Search the existing issues.
Steps to reproduce
Steps to reproduce
  1. Install Win32-OpenSSH v10.0.0.0p2-Preview (or v9.5.0.0p1-Beta) on a Windows 10 server via the release zip and install-sshd.ps1.
  2. Log in with an account in the local Administrators group, using key auth.
  3. From another Windows 10 machine, connect using VS Code (Insiders) Remote-SSH.
  4. Look at the server's desktop.
Expected behavior

No console window appears on the server's desktop.

Actual behavior

A window titled "Administrator: c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe" appears, empty except for a cursor. If I close it, VS Code loses its connection, so the window is hosting the VS Code server (code-server-insiders.cmd).

Connecting with plain ssh user@host from a terminal does not cause this; it only happens with VS Code Remote-SSH.

Versions tested (same client, same server, same config)
sshd version Window appears
v10.0.0.0p2-Preview Yes
v9.5.0.0p1-Beta Yes
v7.9.0.0p1-Beta No

Another Windows server running an older sshd, connected from the same client, also shows no window.

Environment
  • Server: Windows 10 22H2, build 19045.6456
  • Client: Windows 10 22H2, build 19045.3803, OpenSSH_for_Windows_8.1p1
  • VS Code: Insiders <1.140.0-insider (system setup)> Commit: 4a6a3612a562c50f54c2bd5211f0ea42915b974e
  • Remote - SSH extension
Expected behavior
No console window appears on the server's desktop when a client connects with VS Code Remote-SSH (this is what happens with v7.9.0.0p1-Beta).
Actual behavior
With v10.0.0.0p2-Preview and v9.5.0.0p1-Beta, a window titled "Administrator: c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe" appears on the server's desktop each time VS Code connects. It is empty except for a cursor. Closing it kills the VS Code server and the client reports it cannot connect, so the window is hosting code-server-insiders.cmd.

Plain `ssh user@host` from a terminal does not trigger the window. Only VS Code Remote-SSH does.

Tested with the same client, same server, same config:
- v10.0.0.0p2-Preview: window appears
- v9.5.0.0p1-Beta: window appears
- v7.9.0.0p1-Beta: no window

Another Windows server running an older sshd shows no window with the same client.
Error details
No error message. The behavior is the unexpected visible window. Process seen while connected:

cmd /Q /C C:\Users\<user>\.vscode-server-insiders\cli\servers\Insiders-<hash>\server\bin\code-server-insiders.cmd --connection-token=remotessh --start-server --enable-remote-auto-shutdown ...
