My windows desktop does not have that. It is a Windows 10 Home edition.
I suspect that the "Server Manager" app that is the GUI way to do this
only exists on a Windows Server edition. And using the command-line
incantation they tell you to use in PowerShell yields:

	PS C:\Users\lpoul> start-service sshd
	start-service : Cannot find any service with service name 'sshd'.
	At line:1 char:1
	+ start-service sshd
	+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (sshd:String)
                                        	[Start-Service], ServiceCommandException
	    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NoServiceFoundForGivenName,
					Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.StartServiceCommand

Of course, there are 3rd-party server implementations. I suspect even
PuTTY has a server mode.
