It was.

SERVICE_NAME: sshd
         TYPE               : 10  WIN32_OWN_PROCESS
         STATE              : 4  RUNNING
                                 (STOPPABLE,NOT_PAUSABLE,IGNORES_SHUTDOWN)
         WIN32_EXIT_CODE    : 0	(0x0)
         SERVICE_EXIT_CODE  : 0	(0x0)
         CHECKPOINT         : 0x0
         WAIT_HINT          : 0x0

I've been playing since.
