1. This isn't the Ubuntu sshd or anything to do with Ubuntu. Windows
10 comes with its own SSHD which can be started and will drop you into
a cmd.exe I don't know why it was active on your system after the
update.. what version of 10 are you running?
2. To get Ubuntu working you need to download extra items from the
Windows store.

you found my 3. which was to run msconfig :).
