Are there any specific firewall rules that could interfere with the SSH agent service?

While the SSH agent service itself doesn't directly communicate over the network in the same way as the SSH server (sshd), its operation can be indirectly affected by network configurations. However, Error 1058 is usually a local service startup issue, not a network connectivity problem. Ensure that any security software or firewall rules aren't blocking the execution of the `ssh-agent.exe` process.
