Running Win 10 22H2. I used ssh-keygen to create a key pair; terminal dialog says it completed without error. A total search of my PC can find no trace of the key pair. What did I do wrong?

Terminal dialog screenshot attached

Update: when I repeated the ssh-keygen request, with no changes at all, the result was as expected: a private/public key pair was created. I have no idea why the first attempt failed.
