The problem's probably on the server end.  It must be configured to
accept pubkey auth, as well as having your public key installed
properly.  You can see that the client tries pubkey but it's not
accepted.  

So, none of us are mindreaders here, and we have zero information about
the configuration details of your sshd, which isn't even running
Cygwin... So, don't don't be surprised if you are underwhelmed with
help.
