Pageant Support and winssh-pageant

Hello, I am the developer of winssh-pageant. I was made aware of this post from users who are experiencing similar problems and opened an issue on the repository: https://github.com/ndbeals/winssh-pageant/issues/15
@smithj my first suggestion is to update winssh-pageant. There were fixes to how the key is translated in the code between v1.2 and now.

The latest versions now have an MSI installer, which properly creates the autorun entry too. I recommend deleting your current winssh-pageant.exe and the Task Scheduler autostart and re-installing using the MSI: https://github.com/ndbeals/winssh-pageant/releases/tag/v2.1
So far, I have been unable to replicate these problems.
floris_1P If you know anything that may be helpful to me in getting to the bottom of this, it'd be much appreciated!
