 You should not use the Open SSH client that comes with Git for Windows. Instead, Windows 10 has its own implementation of Open SSH that is integrated with the system. To achieve this:
 
 1. Start the `ssh-agent` from Windows Services:

-  b. Find the `OpenSSH Authentication Agent` in the list and double click on it;
