I login at Github with Enterprise server in Windows 10 and works fine. But another coworker did the same in Windows 7 and he reproduced the same error. The solution:

1. You need to create your Personal access token in Profile/Settings/Developer settings/Personal access tokens option from for avoid SSO problems.
2. With Git Bash clone your project with the format: https://[e-mail] to a local directory.
3. Open GitHub Desktop (Welcome flow) and use option Skip this step (login) enter your git Name and Email.
4. Click option Add local repository and select the local directory cloned (in step 2).
5. 😃 it works for fetch, push, commits and so on. That is the way that we solved.

This feels very niche and there are workaround steps described above, so I’m going to close this. Thanks!
