couldn't find the exact reason for it

I dunno what to tell you. Stuff like that just doesn't stop working for no reason. Have you tried all the standard stuff…reboot Windows, reboot Linux, make sure your ssh keys are correct, make sure your sshd config is correct, make sure sshd is running, updating everything, etc? Is there another, similar, client that works?

If I had to make a wild-assed guess, I'd be looking at the Windows machine first…especially if you've installed any M$-sanctioned malware…err…updates recently.
