Kageant: Cannot get rid of bogus "Couldn't load this key" popup

[leonbloy]

Each time I start a Windows session, I keep getting the popup "Couldn't load this key (unable to open file)" from Pageant (Kageant).

I currently have no keys (when I open Kageant, "Kageant Key List" is empty).

I'm using v 0.76.1.13 with scoop in Windows 11.

I've tried uninstalling Kitty (checking that no folder in AppData or scoop remains) and reinstalling, problem persists.

I've tried uninstalling Kitty and installing Putty, Pageant then starts with no bogus messages.

Is there some registry key or place where I could search?

I would help to diagnose if the message were more informative (name of key, location of file?)

Hi,
can you check if have you installed “OpenSSH Server" for Win11 - as optional feature.
If yes - any third parties ssh agent wont work
