SSH Agent not working after windows reinstall

Hi,

I just reinstalled Windows (2H22). But my SSH agent isn't working anymore. I followed the steps as usual, tried logging in into my server. No 1password ssh key popup thingy.

Anyone with the same problem, or knows a solution what it could be? Yes openssh is enabled/started.

A thing that noticed me when trying to get it to work ssh-add -l returns The agent has no identities.

1Password Version: 8.9.5
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Windows 11 22621.521
Browser:_ Chrome

SSH

    Reinstalling openssh fixed via powershell instead of via settings fixed it for me.

    @frstlvl Good idea didn't tried to redo my windows hello setup. But sadly issue still persists.

    I think the problem is that ssh-add -l isnt returning any identities

    I'm having the same issue after updating to Windows 11 22H2

    "sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed for ED25519 "<mykey>" from agent: agent refused operation"

    But for me, ssh-add -l shows all the expected identities.
