Hi I have been using WinSSHD and it works pretty good.

How can I change the default shell from 'cmd.exe' -> 'powershell.exe'

I played around the settings and couldn't find how. Highly appreciate answers! Thanks!!

In the control panel's server tab click Edit advanced settings. Go to Access control in the tree and find and select the group/account you want to edit. Click the edit button. If you're editing an account and not group, there is a tick that says Use group default terminal shell. In both cases there is a Terminal shell field, which you have to set. I just tried it and it works. Some settings there take a windows restart to work. No obvious reason why, but they do.

    To use Cygwin Bash, I picked "bash" as the shell type but selected C:\cygwin\Cygwin.bat as the "Bash executable path"; the C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe executable didn't work (e.g. running ls failed with command not found).
