Visual Studio Code Unable to ssh using the remote extension anymore error code 255

I have been having this problem since last week. The remote extension worked before this.

When, I try to ssh I get this pop up error:

The terminal process "C:\WINDOWS\System32\cmd.exe /c (type "C:\Users<home dir>\AppData\Local\Temp\vscode-linux-multi-line-command--863954789.sh" | "C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\ssh.exe" -T -D 59760 -F "C:\Users<home dir>.ssh\config" bash) & exit /b 0" terminated with exit code: 255.

and in the terminal I am seeing this:

[11:03:29.127] Terminal shell path: C:\WINDOWS\System32\cmd.exe[11:03:30.542] "install" terminal command done[11:03:30.542] Install terminal quit with output: [11:03:30.556] Resolver error: Error: Got bad result from install script

I am using windows git ssh executable and I can ssh from within GIT bash just fine, and I am pointing to the git ssh executable directly (I can't use the Windows ssh due to GPO, and admin just said would be easier to use the git ssh).

Anyone have any ideas?

I look up error code 255 and the files etc are all there, so i am not sure why that error is being thrown.

My ssh config file looks like this:

Host <hostname>
    HostName <host_ip>
    User <user_name>
    Port 22
    GlobalKnownHostsFile C:\Users\<home_dir>\.ssh\known_hosts
    ServerAliveInterval 10
    IdentityFile c:\Users\<home_dir>\.ssh\id_rsa

Thanks!
