Have you verified that you can log in using that particular user name
and keyfile?
If you can run a commandline ssh client (not PuTTY - PuTTY has its own
keyfile format), the output of
ssh -vvv -i yourkeyfile youruser@yourhost
would be interesting.
Also, if you could check the "debug" checkbox when installing X2Go, you
could try to run
x2goclient.debug.exe --debug >x2golog.txt 2>&1 and post the output of
x2golog.txt here, after removing any confidential info from it (e.g.
look for user account names, IP addresses, DNS names etc. that you don't
want us to know, and replace them with dummy values.)

Did you copy-paste the path to the key file there, or did you use the
GUI to select it?

"auto login" is required if you're using *either* an SSH-Agent like
Pageant, *or* you do not want to specify a keyfile, and instead expect
X2GoClient to search for such a file matching one of the standard file
names for key files in the default locations.

It references a keyfile that matches one of the standard name patterns
and is located in one of the default locations for keyfiles. It does
not matter which tool was used to generate the key, as long as the
format is the usual OpenSSH keyfile format - i.e. NOT PuTTYgen.

No, Pageant is not required as long as you use a keyfile that is in
OpenSSH format and you either named it appropriately and placed it in
one of the default locations, or you specified the proper path and file
name to it in the GUI.
