The app does not recognise changed proxy server settings. Changing the network connection and disabling associated proxy server settings results in app network error. Pushing and fetching fail.

[Disable proxy server in Control Panel > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings.]
[Check internet access in browser e.g. github.com]
[In GitHub Desktop, select repository and Fetch Origin.]
[Restarting app nor rebooting OS doesn’t resolve.]

Expected behavior: [Syncing of repository.]

Perhaps it is a more global git config, as I have resolved the immediate problem through command line per answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/783811/getting-git-to-work-with-a-proxy-server/19213999#19213999. In bash, git config --list showed the http and https proxy server settings retained. Resetting git config --global --unset http.proxy resolves Github Desktop pushing and pulling problems too. The question now is why git doesn’t update from the system settings, and is this a reproducible problem? I guess I’ll see on Monday.
