Cannot use SSH using Powershell 7

Question

When I am trying to use ssh using powershell 7 it throws an error:

ssh: The term 'ssh' is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or executable program.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

But it is working fine for cmd and windows powershell

I have also noticed that I cannot change directory to OpenSSH (C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH)

I tried adding Openssh to the system Path, installing openssh client and server but did not work.

How can I fix it?

Answer 1

I finally resolved the issue.

When installing PowerShell, I used to check the box that enables PowerShell remoting. However, this time I did not, and now SSH works.

The solution is as follows:

1. If OpenSSH is not installed (Doesn't even work in cmd) then follow this first: Get started with OpenSSH for Windows
2. Uninstall PowerShell.
3. Download the installer: PowerShell Latest Release.
4. During installation, make sure to leave the PowerShell remoting box unchecked.

That was all I had to do.

And here is the screenshot of it working:
