adding OpenSSH through Add-WindowsCompatibility not working

So, I'm working on fixing my github by reinstalling ssh (since git is having trouble authenticating to my ssh client). and, after going through the microsoft docs on installing openSSH through powershell, this is what I did on my terminal

 

Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name OpenSSH.Client~~~~0.0.1.0

 

But after I did that my terminal is stuck at this:

 

Operation 
  Running[oooooooooo                                 ]  

 

I'm running this on a Windows 10. and if anybody is wondering why I am not installing OpenSSH From window's optional features. it keeps telling me installation failed.

By the way, OpenSSH did work on my computer a few days ago but I don't know what happened this time on

Re: adding OpenSSH through Add-WindowsCompatibility not working

Hi,

 

 

 

Can you help with the error message you got when tried from Windows Optional features.

 

Also please check if you are able to install any other feature like Telnet just to validate if OS doesn't have any corruption with component store.

 

 

 

Also as you said OpenSSH did work few days ago, did you uninstall it and trying to reinstall?
