SSH connection to specific host times out on Windows 10 22H2

I'm having an issue with connecting to a specific server via SSH on my Windows 10 22H2 machine. The problem started a few days ago and I'm getting a timeout error. Strangely, I can connect to the same server from other machines or by connecting to another server via SSH and then connecting to the specific server from there. I have tried various solutions like reinstalling OpenSSH, editing the Windows host file, running the ssh-keygen command again, adding the host to the known_hosts file, and cleaning the Windows registry of related entries, but nothing seems to work. I suspect it is something related to my machine's SSH configuration. Can anyone offer any suggestions or insights? Thank you in advance.

    I encountered a similar problem and found a solution. Here's what worked for me:

    To get more detailed information while connecting via SSH, you can add the '-vv' option to the command:

    
ssh user@host -vv

    This will provide additional details, and you might be able to identify the issue.

    In my case, the problem was due to a misconfiguration in the '~/.ssh/config' file.
