ssh-agent on windows 11 does not work. Is there some trick I'm missing or something?

I also am having a similar issue; I followed the instructions in the docs, and the Settings dialog shows that the agent is "Running", but the named pipe it should be using (\\.\pipe\openssh-ssh-agent) doesn't exist:

λ gci \\.\pipe\ -filter *ssh*
λ


Update: when I looked in the logs, it became apparent that the agent actually failed to start, even though the UI said it was "Running". Two errors in the logs occurred, neither one of which were surfaced in the UI at all.

The fix was to disable the agent, quit 1Password, start it back up, unlock it, and then enable the agent again, and that seemed to do that trick.
