Steps to reproduce

I'm experiencing trouble in getting SSH to work on my local user account. OpenSSH has been installed on the admin side both via the Optional Features and following the instructions on the repo here for the msi file installation. Get-Service -Name *ssh does return that the sshd and ssh-agent are running, but I'm still unable to call ssh on **BOTH **** Powershells in either local or elevated modes. I've never had issues with SSH Keygen before, and I can sure use some advice on how to get this to work.

System Specs: Windows 10 Pro, Intel Core i7 11th Gen.

Expected behavior

ssh keygen asks to create file for rsa_id

Actual behavior

ssh does not exist
