Current situation: Windows Client and Server with Windows OpenSSH installed. I was previously able to connect the server and am no longer able to.
I am still able to SSH into the server via the terminal. And am able to SSH into other similar machines.
I have tried many things to try to solve this, mainly:

[09:46:55.448] ------
I am still unable to connect via VSCode SSH, and would like to resolve this.
After much debugging, OpenSSH/ssh.exe was missing from the environment variables. I had to add that back in.
