+If you configure a default shell, ensure that OpenSSH installation path is in system PATH. If not already present, amend system PATH and restart sshd service.
+
+On the server side, configure the default ssh shell in the windows registry. 
+
+`Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OpenSSH\DefaultShell` - Full path (case sensitive) of the shell executable
+
+`Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OpenSSH\DefaultShellCommandOption` - The switch that the configured default shell requires to execute a command and immediately exit and return to the calling process. It is used for executing the remote ssh commands. _Example- ssh user@ip hostname_
+
+
+***
+
+> Example - Powershell cmdlets to set powershell bash as default shell
+  
+   * `New-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\OpenSSH" -Name DefaultShell -Value "C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -PropertyType String -Force`
+
+
+  * `New-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\OpenSSH" -Name DefaultShellCommandOption -Value "/c" -PropertyType String -Force`

+
+If you are configuring the powershell.exe/cmd.exe/WSL-bash.exe as default ssh shell then you can ignore `Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OpenSSH\DefaultShellCommandOption`. Your registry should look like [this](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/23668037/32013581-67206dca-b970-11e7-8820-fde658d302c1.png).

+If you want to configure default shell (Ex- cygwin) other than powershell/cmd/WSL-bash then your registry should look like [this](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/23668037/32015013-9e644cee-b974-11e7-8375-bf3d50f596df.png)
