I'm using raspberry pi zero 2w(headless setup) and accessing it from ssh(laptop-windows). 
 This is the error i face.

I've discovered many tutorials come up short because they fail to define the environment the test was run. When the environment changes so may the test. It appears the Pi cannot translate the hostname of your desktop to the required IP address. Try this test from the Pi ping Do you get a response? Let's assume not and work on solution. try adding .local to the desktop hostname. .local keeping the command the same except for that change. This adds dynamic DNS to find the IP address of the hostname of the desktop ALternate solution Do you know the IP of your desktop? Replace the with the IP address, keeping the command the same except for that change.
