On my properties dialog for the OpenSSH authentication agent, all of the buttons under "service status" are disabled. I could probably get this enabled for myself, but all my users are also using this tool with ed25519 keys on PuTTY version 0.77. I need to stay in this realm.

> On my properties dialog for the OpenSSH authentication agent, all of the buttons under "service status" are disabled. Change the “Startup type” to either “manual” or “automatic” and some of those buttons should light up, if I am remembering correctly (I may be misremembering; I’ve been primarily a Mac user for over a year, now.) > I need to stay in this realm. That’s fine. PuTTygen converts ssh keys to and from OpenSSH format just fine, though, so it’s an option if you ever choose to explore it.

  The startup type itself is grey, set to disabled, and I can't change it. The PuTTY agent is a perfect fit for this situation, unfortunately.

    That is an odd decision by your admin team, unless you simply aren’t admin on your computer, in which case it all comes into focus.

      Right, normal users do not have Windows admin. I've had it before on servers, but only our local client team has it onsite.
