If your client is incompatible or out of date, you will likely see the same behavior the next time any of the other operating systems you are using put out a new release that includes the latest OpenSSH. I suspect they probably aren't using 10.2 right now.

If you search the release notes for "incompatible", you might find a clue as to what is broken in your version of PuTTY:

Or try updating PuTTY first, if you haven't already.
