I have an SSH server configured on Windows and whenever I connect to it and issue notepad, the program does not open:

  • I tried both -X and -Y flags when using SSH, both on the server host system [Windows] and Linux

  • X11 is [not supported](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/openssh/openssh_server_configuration#not-supported) and IIRC isn't planned to be supported _(I believe there's something on the OpenSSH-WIin32 GitHub, but you'll need to search the [Wiki](https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH/wiki) and [Issues](https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH/issues) pages)_ – JW0914 Oct 10 '20 at 12:20
  • If you want to access windows apps from a remote system, you should look at [remote desktop or VNC](https://superuser.com/questions/32495/whats-the-difference-between-rdp-vs-vnc). – Kenster Oct 10 '20 at 13:32

Notepad is not an X11 app. Overall, the Windows graphics system is not X11-based at all.
