Sometimes latest versions of the software can cause issues when installed on older devices or devices running an older version of the operating system.

Software makers usually fix these issues but it can take them some time. What you can do in the meantime is to download and install an older version of PuTTY 0.79 (64-bit).

What's new in this version:

- Terminal mouse tracking: support for mouse movements which are not drags
- Terminal mouse tracking: support for horizontal scroll events (e.g. generated by trackpads)
- Backwards compatibility fix: certificate-based user authentication now works with OpenSSH 7.7 and earlier

Fixed:
- in a session using the 'Raw' protocol, pressing ^D twice in the terminal window could cause an assertion failure
- terminal output could hang if a resize control sequence was sent by the server (and was not disabled in the Features panel) but PuTTY's window was set to non-resizable in the Window panel
- GTK PuTTY could fail an assertion if a resize control sequence was sent by the server while the window was docked to one half of the screen in KDE
- GTK PuTTY could fail an assertion if you tried to change the font size while the window was maximised
- the 'bell overload' timing settings were misinterpreted by Unix PuTTY and pterm 0.77/0.78; if any settings were saved using these versions, confusion can persist with newer versions
- SSH authentication banners were not reliably printed if a server sent one immediately before closing the connection (e.g. intended as a user-visible explanation for the connection closure)
- the 'close' command in PSFTP always reported failure, so that ending a psftp -b batch script with it would cause PSFTP as a whole to believe it had failed, even if everything worked fine
- certificate handling would do the wrong thing, for RSA keys only, if you specified a detached certificate to go with a PPK file that had a different certificate embedded
- Windows Pageant's option to write out a configuration file fragment for Windows OpenSSH now works even if you have a space in your user name
- in local-line-editing mode, pressing ^U now just clears the line, instead of clearing it and then inserting a literal ^U
- Several bug fixes in edge cases of terminal wrapping, involving double-width characters
