Hi,

I want to confirm with you if you followed the step-by-step documents and enable OPENSSH with default configuration:
/en-us/windows-server/administration/openssh/openssh_install_firstuse

What is your OpenSSH client and server OS version? if possible, please run ***Winver ***and provide me the detail OS build number. 

Best Regards,
Eve Wang

Hello,

I am experiencing the same issue. I'm also using Windows 10 Pro.

This is definitely an issue related to the new May 2004 update (19041.264). My authentification setup was working perfectly fine prior to updating my system. 

Password authentification is not affected by this issue. I'm using ed25519 key, I didn't tested another format. I am not even prompted to enter my passphrase.

Looking at logs using verbose, I have this:

sshd: Connection from <client_ip> port <random_port> on <server_ip> port 22sshd: Failed publickey for <client> from <client_ip> port <random_port> ssh4: ED25519 SHA256: <sha256>sshd: Connection closed by authenticating user <client> <client_ip> port <random_port> [preauth]

 You may want to look into issue #1617 on Win-32-OpenSSH GitHub.
