Clone a repository using an SSH key in Pageant, without supplying to Git Extensions explicitly, then make a change and try to push

Steps to reproduce

1. Load your SSH key into Pageant.
2. Clone repository without supplying it to Git Extensions explicitly.
3. Try pushing updates.

Did this work in previous version of GitExtensions?

Yes it did - Definitely in the last major version, quite possibly since then too.

Fixed in 4.0.2. Please update.

I experienced this same issue, I had to go into
Tools ->Settings -> SSH
Change from OpenSSH back to Putty
And confirm that all the paths to my external Putty installation are correct.
