configure_authorized_keys.md

This is what got me working. Staring at C:\ProgramData\ssh\sshd_config I noticed this line was commented!!!

#PubkeyAuthentication yes

No idea how that happened; my box was pre-imaged. I uncommented that, plus ensured that these two lines in the config file were commented out:

#Match Group administrators
#      AuthorizedKeysFile __PROGRAMDATA__/ssh/administrators_authorized_keys

I then restarted with:

Restart-Service -Name sshd, ssh-agent -Force

And now it's working. OMG what a battle. Huge thanks to everyone who's posting here.
