Windows 10 OpenSSH Client not found in non-admin console
I'm having trouble using the built-in OpenSSH client from a regular command prompt. The client got automatically installed as part of Windows 10 Update 1803.
When I try to execute it from a regular command prompt, I get the following:
C:>ssh
'ssh' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
As if it couldn't find it in the path, however the directory is in the path (output shortened for brevity):
C:>path
PATH=[...];%SYSTEMROOT%System32OpenSSH;[...]
And if I cd into the folder directly, the command works:
C:>cd %SYSTEMROOT%System32OpenSSH
C:WindowsSystem32OpenSSH>ssh
usage: ssh [-46AaCfGgKkMNnqsTtVvXxYy] [-b bind_address] [-c cipher_spec]
[-D [bind_address:]port] [-E log_file] [-e escape_char]
[-F configfile] [-I pkcs11] [-i identity_file]
[-J [user@]host[:port]] [-L address] [-l login_name] [-m mac_spec]
[-O ctl_cmd] [-o option] [-p port] [-Q query_option] [-R address]
[-S ctl_path] [-W host:port] [-w local_tun[:remote_tun]]
destination [command]
As administrator
Interestingly, if I launch the command prompt as Administrator, the command works (as expected) from any directory:
C:>ssh
usage: ssh [-46AaCfGgKkMNnqsTtVvXxYy] [-b bind_address] [-c cipher_spec]
[-D [bind_address:]port] [-E log_file] [-e escape_char]
[-F configfile] [-I pkcs11] [-i identity_file]
[-J [user@]host[:port]] [-L address] [-l login_name] [-m mac_spec]
[-O ctl_cmd] [-o option] [-p port] [-Q query_option] [-R address]
[-S ctl_path] [-W host:port] [-w local_tun[:remote_tun]]
destination [command]
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the client from the Manage optional features section of the Settings app, but that didn't work.
Any ideas?
