SSH Agent isn't working

SSH-Agent isn't working on Windows 11. In .1password there are NO files (even agent.sock) (Explorer is set up to show all files)

.ssh/config content:

Host *
IdentityAgent ~/.1password/agent.sock

part of .gitconfig:

[core]
sshCommand = C:/Windows/System32/OpenSSH/ssh.exe
[gpg]
format = ssh
[gpg "ssh"]
program = C:\\Users\\ium\\AppData\\Local\\1Password\\app\\8\\op-ssh-sign.exe

ssh -Tvvv mailto:git@github.com:

debug3: unable to connect to pipe C:\\Users\\ium/.1password/agent.sock, error: 2
debug1: pubkey_prepare: ssh_get_authentication_socket: No such file or directory

ssh-add -l lists all keys in vault

1Password Version: 8.10.30 (81030020)
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Windows 11, 23H2 (22635.3430)
Browser: MS Edge

SSH

    Turns our, my entire 1Pass installation was broken!
    Fix:
    Delete 1Password fully from your system (be sure to delete '''%localappdata%/1password''' path

    Also, don't change your .ssh/config file, just use "Enable this key for commit signing" feature, it will somehow fix SSH on system level

    I'd like to bump this. ssh agent also stopped working for me on windows 11. I had been using it daily until it suddenly broke.
