Did you check if keyboard-interactive is enabled by the client, under
Connection->SSH->Auth?

I took the liberty to see if I could reproduce this (from Win7 and with
a slightly older PuTTy client) and I could when I unticked that box.
Perhaps on Windows 10 and/or newer PuTTy clients it's disabled by
default.
