did you actualy start the service ? (try 'cygrunsrv -S sshd' or if you prefer 'net start sshd' ) although it seems that you removed the service then readded it, so first re-remove it ('cygrunsrv -R sshd'), then re-run the host config script ('ssh-host-config -y' and answer as appropriate,) just so the parameters to the service are correct. Then try and start the service. if that gives an error then send the contents of /var/log/sshd.log to the list and we'll try and help again.
