Description

Hi,

after latest Windows update and restart, Posh-SSH Open-SSHSession stopped working:

assembly 'Renci.SshNet, Version=2016.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=1cee9f8bde3db106' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Windows Server 2019 Datacenter
10.0.17763 Build 17763
Posh-SSH 2.2
.NET Framework 4.8
PS: 5.1.18362.145

Research direction

Start by reproducing Open-SSHSession on Windows Server 2019 with Posh-SSH 2.2, .NET Framework 4.8, and PowerShell 5.1, then investigate loading of the Renci.SshNet assembly and its dependencies. Done means Open-SSHSession works without the reported assembly-not-found error.
