I want to be able to use the SSH Keys loaded in Pageant when using the built-in Open SSH client.

I tried running the command pageant.exe --openssh-config %USERPROFILE%\.ssh\pageant.conf like in the answer from the question Using pageant with VSCode on Windows 10. The problem is that Pageant shows a message box with "Couldn't load this key (unable to open file)".

I recently upgraded from an older version of Putty to version 0.78. I also tried version 0.77. I am running Windows 10 22H2.

I noticed that when typing in pageant in the command prompt and looking in the About box it was starting version 0.74, which is too old. This version came with TortoiseGit.

The solution was to specify the full path to the up to date version I installed myself. Then it just worked.
