Where did you get this?  Looks very complicated.

Perhaps C-x C-f /sshx:address@hidden:/mypath RET works better.
The method sshx passes the argments "-t -t" (yes, twice) to ssh to
force allocation of a tty.  This is what is supposed to work,
theoretically.

But John is right: in practice, I think that plink from PuTTY works
better.  The documentation should recommend using PuTTY when using
Tramp under Emacs on Windows.
