Can't connect to remote host when running scap-workbench on Windows 11

[coderunner34-ahruphey]

I receive this issue/error in the Diagnostics window, it is apparent that the bundled SSH executables are trying to write/read to Unix file paths, and there is no documentation or configuration to modify this behavior.

I reviewed several issues that appeared similar, one mentioning that a system restart resolved the problem, but that did not remediate my issue.

`

The error message states "Host key verification failed.". Was the OS recently reinstalled at the same IP?
