Every time I connect to my Windows 11 SSH server, It keeps getting an error saying "server shell request failed on channel 0".

console

I ensured that the default shell is specified properly

My computer has enough resources and I can start the shell by specifying it after the command:

How can I fix this issue?

For reference, I am using the default config: https://pastebin.com/Zh94fyT5

and my .ssh folder is empty.

  • But you're starting a different shell here. Can you start the same shell that's configured?

  • Post your OpenSSH server configuration file.

  • @Ramhound It is the default. I can only find sshd_config_default, in which everything is commented out

  • I have the solution but in order to know it’s relevant I must see the configuration file.

In my case I had by accident installed the Win32 version, installing Win64 version of OpenSSH server solved this exact error message.

The issue was that I had updated from Windows 10 to 11, but I guess the "OpenSSH server" service remained old. By removing all OpenSSH instances and reinstalling (through enabling the optional feature), I fixed the issue.

  1. Ensure that there is only one installation of the OpenSSH server on your machine.
  2. Try reinstalling OpenSSH. Ensure that uninstall removes all previous configurations.
