Read the above page again, please.  If I understood your statement

*supposed* to have any effect, unless you use the appropriate Windows

The usual place to look for the actual errors when starting sshd is the
Windows event log.

FWIW, you can try killing the corresponding cygrunsrv process (using
either the Task Manager or "/bin/kill -f") instead of rebooting.
