    I am trying to get GPG4Win to work in Windows 10 with Enigmail in Thunderbird, but when I click on a message for which I have a secret and public key in my keyring, I get a message stating it cannot find the
    secret key. In the log file of Enigmail, I get these results:

    gpg: DBG: starting `C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU\GnuPG\gpg-agent.exe' for testing failed: General error
    gpg: can't connect to the agent: Input/output error
    gpg: problem with the agent: No agent running
    gpg: encrypted with 1 passphrase
    gpg: decryption failed: No secret key

    It appears that GPG-agent cannot be connected to. I normally have the Pinetry window popup asking me to enter my passphrase, but I am not prompted for my passphrase. In addition, when I manually select Decrypt/Verify from the Enigmail menu, I get no secret found.

    In the Preferences section of Enigmail, I have it pointed to
    C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU\GnuPG\gpg2.exe

    Any ideas on how I can get this problem resolved? This configuration is working in Windows 7 and Windows Vista.

    I hate to be so sarcastic, but if it ain't broke, you ain'ted had tried to fix it.
    If I can't get W7 to install from a backup of my current computer on my next computer,
    I'm going to Linux. Probably will go there anyway. I am sick of MS constantly
    cooperating with the government spies.

    Sounds like a mac is more your speed anyway.

    waves bye.
