Now I want screen or tmux. Otherwise you can't really run anything on a remote Windows machine over SSH on spotty connections.

You can ssh into your remote and start a tmux session then. If you are disconnected you ssh back then tmux attach. :-)

Remote machine is Windows. tmux is not available on Windows. That's the whole issue.

This could be done with WSL, but WSL is too heavy for a task like that.

Ah my apologies, I thought you were looking for a native windows client version of tmux to go along with the native client ssh. I see you are looking for a server side implementation though.

No, the issue is about SSH sessions.

  ssh user@windows-pc run long job
If you do this, and your connection is interrupted, `run long job` command will be terminated.
