SSH / SFTP Connections

I have developed my own SSH/SFTP client, which I use to manage my dedicated server.
Originally, my server was running Linux, and I used the Renci.SshNet library to establish SSH connections, which worked perfectly.

My application combines shell access and file exploration in a single window.
This works flawlessly on Linux, and shell access has previously worked on Windows Servers as well.
However, when I connect to a Windows Server, I now frequently encounter a timeout error, especially when trying to initialize the SFTP subsystem.

Is Renci.SshNet fully compatible with Windows-based OpenSSH servers, especially for SFTP operations?
Or would you recommend using an alternative library for stable SSH/SFTP communication with Windows?
