When I try to start the ssh-agent on Windows 10 via PowerShell (with elevated right or without) by entering Start-Service ssh-agent
I get the error
unable to start ssh-agent service, error :1058
When I check of the service is running via Get-Service ssh-agent
is returns that the service is stopped.
How can I get the ssh-agent running?
I solved the problem by changing the StartupType of the ssh-agent to Manual
via Set-Service ssh-agent -StartupType Manual
.
Then I was able to start the service via Start-Service ssh-agent
or just ssh-agent.exe
.
