Windows SSH X Forwarding

Install Xming via a command prompt / winget:

winget install Xming

After installation completes set an environment variable to map the remote desktop to the local desktop:

setx DISPLAY localhost:0

Now close and reopen the terminal. You should now be able to forward a remote x session via ssh to your windows system:

ssh -Y [netid]@hpc.grit.ucsb.edu
