Recently I've started to receive this error message when loading keepass. I have the problem on 2 separate machines. Both Windows 11 24H2 with latest updates.

I did some reading on a previous issue but can't seem to solve the problem. It has been working fine for a long time.

I verified that the Windows service for SSH Agent is currently disabled and not running.

I'm trying to figure out what could suddenly be blocking this feature. I did find that if I open Keepass right after a reboot before everything is finished loading I don't get the error the first time I load it. If I close keepass I get the error on every subsequent load.

UPDATE

Turns out Bitwarden is introducing SSH Agent and it's hijacking the named pipe even when the feature is turned off. They are looking into it.
