Albert Martin was encouraging and sobering here, speaking of 2 Timothy "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved...":

@simple Yeah that is weird. I just tried it again and a different place/wifi/cell signal, and it's still doing it. I think it's only the after-hours message that is giving the problem.

[David Birks @debirks]

@simple It appears your support line is currently being answered by someone with a menacing whisper. Lol quite funny: https://t.co/Uwfv1X5QaM

Ok so an OpenSSH client is installed by *default* on Windows 1803 with the latest updates now, and it works nicely.

Now just to install the optional ssh server, and my dreams might finally come true. No more VNC'ing just to do quick maintenance on a user's computer.
