Enable this option if the launched machine is a Windows VM. The Windows VM must have the OpenSSH server feature installed on it, Java installed on it, and you must have configured an administrative user with a username and password.

The configured username and password should be set in the "Windows Username" and "Windows Password" fields.

If you do not have the aforementioned pre-installed, you can use the following startup script to automatically set up the minimum requirements. In this example the Windows username is "Build" and the password is "P@ssword2".
See the help file below for Windows private SSH key if you wish to authenticate SSH via keys.
