I have an very old sandbox on my harddisk that I can update and commit using the "svn commit" and "svn up" in the windows-cmd-box (or powershell).
So ssh connection and user/password is right
When I do the same via windows-explorer (mouse-right-click)  I get the error
Unable to connect to a repository at URL
 'svn+ssh://XX...@YYYYY.de/ZZZZZZ'
To better debug SSH connection problems, remove the -q option from 'ssh' in the
 [tunnels] section of your Subversion configuration file.
Network connection closed unexpectedly

I have done several upgrades over many years always with the same sandbox. The current version I use is 
svn --version
svn, version 1.14.0 (r1876290)
   compiled May 24 2020, 17:07:49 on x86-microsoft-windows

GUI-version:
TortoiseSVN 1.14.0, Build 28885 - 64 Bit , 2020/05/24 13:32:45
ipv6 enabled
Subversion 1.14.0, -release
apr 1.6.5
apr-util 1.6.1
serf 1.3.9
OpenSSL 1.1.1g  21 Apr 2020
zlib 1.2.11
SQLite 3.29.0


The same happens, when I checkout a new sandbox.
I assume that something is hidden in windows-registry or AppDat that sends wrong password when I do it via GUI
The username on my windows machine differs from the username on the svnserver.


thanks and regards
Michael

if the original putty/plink doesn't work, then TortoisePlink can't work either. Sorry.
But you could configure the windows ssh.exe to be used with TSVN if you like...

Hello All !
I am experiencing the same problem 'again' (previously on a W10 PC after the TortoiseSVN Update and may be after some W10 update).
I Installed the Putty 64b and TortoiseSVN (last version 64b) on a new PC. All was functioning well still *something happened* (I don't know what exactly because I use TortoiseSVN occasionnaly).

I use SVN+SSH to connect over a server. I need Putty because Pageant is helpfull.
I had re-check the SSH connection with Putty with success. I can connect to my server with SSH by Putty.
I check the SSH log of my server and surprisingly, the only traces of connections are these Putty tests. No traces of connection failure by TortoiseSVN.

I don't know how the network mechanisms of W10 (or other OS) works. But I guess "the pipe is broken" ! I don't know how to fix it.
I just disable the SSD Discovery Service (W10 OpenSSH native) to test 'in case of'.
Some ideas ?
