Start by reading the manpage. Look first in the GENERAL
section where it lists the 6 (soon to be 8) ways of using
rsync and then pick one.

At this point in time your arguments are in conflict.
Using :: to connect to an rsyncd negates -e ssh.

If you are going to connect to an rsync daemon the path
(after the ::) must start with a module name as defined in
the rsyncd.conf on the windowsserver.

You don't have ssh configured to allow connection without a
password yet. Read up on ssh for windows and configure the
account to know about your public keys. I don't use windows
so i don't know the details, on UNIX this means putting the
public keys from .ssh/*.pub into .ssh/authorized_keys on the
server. Once you have that done you should be able to do
$ rsync -avz -e ssh user@windowsserver:/rsync/* .

Good luck.
Once rsync supports 8 ways using -e option will require both
a module configure and the key management to further confuse
you.
