@PapaCapricorn thanks for the report. I believe your issues is the same as https://github.com/desktop/desktop/issues/4832, because of system config entry that looks like this:

file:"C:\ProgramData/Git/config" http.sslcainfo=/bin/curl-ca-bundle.crt

This entry is no longer valid (Git installations should not be adding this entry to this file) and removing this entry

[http]
  sslCAinfo = /bin/curl-ca-bundle.crt

from C:\ProgramData\Git\config should address the issue for Desktop.
