This what I do

juliassh.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# Start the SSH agent
eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"

# Add your SSH key (assuming it's called id_ed25519 in your ~/.ssh directory)
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519

# Finally, launch Julia
julia

I am not sure why it works.

I only need to do it when I am running WSL2 and using ubuntu.

On my Linux machine it is never an issue.
