Fetch is failing and causing authentication issues

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug

Everytime I click on ‘Fetch Origin’, it displays an error ‘Authentication failed…’. There is no issue with authentication because I’m able to do commits etc. At the time of commit, the origin fetching happens on its own which never gives any error.

Version & OS

Version 2.2.4 on Windows 10 Enterprise 2019

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Expected behavior

Fetching origin should not give any errors.

Actual behavior

It fails with authentication error.

@jasonta try running github from the command line to launch GitHub Desktop and then see if that gets things working for you.

@tierninho I forgot to mention, I’m using desktop on windows 10, so no keychain nor -K option. Not sure if there’s an analogous method on windows.
