Well, I've googled around, and it looks that the ssh server and client
directories on MS Windows are c:/ProgramData/ssh and
c:/Users/<user>/.ssh, see
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/openssh/openssh_server_configuration
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/openssh/openssh_keymanagement

Does the appended patch help for host name completion?

Best regards, Michael.
