Cygwin/bash/mintty shortcut properties or command line should have
"-" at end e.g.
"C:\cygwin64\bin\mintty.exe -i /Cygwin-Terminal.ico -"
Otherwise does it have Windows line endings or permissions too open?

Windows line endings or permissions too open on directory
(s/b drwx------) or private key files, config, known_hosts,
authorized_keys (s/b _rw-------)?
Could sshd config have disabled allowing personal config files
(common on corporate servers - have to talk to admins)?
If you have a passphrase on your key, you could use ssh-agent
and ssh-add to avoid reverifying credentials on each connection.
Do you also need host keys in /etc/ssh_known_hosts or
~/.ssh/known_hosts as well as your PPK pair?
If you are using a native Windows ssh client you may need to use
something like Putty/Pageant/Plink to support SSH2 connections,
or client or server could have limited crypto support requiring
a specific PPK pair to be used to match both sides support.
