PuTTY command line error while connecting to google datalab instance

Question

I'm trying to connect to previously created instance in Google Cloude Compute Engine using datalab, or create a new one using Google Cloud SDK Shell:

    datalab connect nst

The program cannot connect, the error is the following:

    ERROR: (gcloud.compute.ssh) [C:\Users\Anastasia...\putty.exe] exited with returned code [1]

and there is a pop-up window from putty.exe with command line error:

    unknown option -"o"

Neither restart nor SDK shell reinstall doesn't help. What should I do? Thank you in advance.

I can connect to the instance through ssh.
