Github Desktop unexpectedly closes on version 2.6.4

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug

After I updated my Github Desktop from version 2.6.3 to 2.6.4 when I open the app and click on Fetch origin, App unexpectedly closes. I don’t have any issues with version 2.6.3. It just happened from version 2.6.4 and I cannot use Github Desktop at all.

By the way, after Github Desktop closes I still see 2-3 Github Desktio process in Task Manager. I have to kill them and launch the app again, Otherwise, it won’t open.

Version & OS

Github Desktop: 2.6.4 OS: Windows 10

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. Just click on the Fetch origin button

Expected behavior

Fetch from origin.

Actual behavior

Application closes.

Just tested in safe mode. I confirm that both test versions working fine in safe mode. So your theory is correct 😃 I don’t know what’s wrong with my machine that kills the port Github Desktop listens to but as you don’t kill the server on error my issue is resolved. Thank you @sergiou87 !
