When I open the file I downloaded from https://git-scm.com/download and then Windows, nothing happens. I've tried running it as a normal user and administrator but nothing happens. Not even a processor in the Task Manager opens.
What could cause this? Is it because Git hasn't been updated for Windows 10 yet, or is it something else? I just did a clean install of Windows 10.
Perhaps, you could try chocolatey (even if I'm not sure it will change something...) :
https://chocolatey.org/packages/git
Or the RC for the next to be released git for Windows :
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases
Try running the installer from command prompt.
More details
This is what just happened to me. When double-clicked, or even ran as admin, Git-2.34.1-64-bit.exe shows this. None of those 3 buttons work.
The only thing that helped was running the file from command prompt.
This is a weird one.
Update
A similar thing just happened again with node-v17.3.0-x64. This time, I would get this screen even when running from command prompt.
But it would work just fine if the cmd.exe is ran as an administrator.
It's maddening.

I have looked on the internet, and some people suggested updating my windows 11 to the latest build; however, it did not solve the problem. One person indicated that they could solve the issue by reinstalling the windows. I can't afford to perform a clean install. How can I solve this issue? I can't open PowerShell or terminal natively aside from vs-code. As soon as I try running windows Powershell this error shows up.

Today I got this error message:
"WSL not found at: C:\Users\Nick\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\debian.exe"
Before this message today, everything worked fine (I start Debian through start menu, restart the ssh service, then start CLion and it linked up just fine.).
The executable is there, just 0kb. The strange thing is that the Linux environment can be opened from windows as always (debian), I can ssh into it just fine (looks like CLion can as well, see picture).
This happened after an update tot CLion 2018.2.2 from 2018.2.1. Rolling back did not fix the issue.
What could be going wrong here?
I've found a fix for the issue. In Windows config select the apps list, find Debian and press advanced settings. Then end the service and recover it (the mild recovery was enough for my case). Although I'm not certain it aided in fixing the issue I've also removed the Jetbrains folder in the LocalCache/Local folder of the Debian folder in my AppData\Local\Packages.
I've been using gitbash these past few days and it's working just fine. But a while ago, after install a pdf reader with patch file, when I opened my gitbash it gave me the error which says "Failed to run '/usr/bin/bash': No such file or directory". I don't know what happened and why, but I think the patch file of the application that I installed has something to do with it. My pc antivirus prompted a warning, and I took actions. Then the trouble in the gitbash happened. Please help me, I don't want to reinstall gitbash again coz I also have to install some things.
Had the same issue, searched for it, this is one of the first few results. So if you are looking why you got this message recently: check your antivirus and that the folder and the file actually exist. As previous answers mentioned, reinstall helps bring it back, but antivirus might break it again. So I would check your antivirus GUI and see if you can restore it and add an exception.
Mine was that Avast antivirus classified it as 'IDP.Generic' threat (weirdly only when I would close the shell with ctrl+c or ctrl+d on Windows 10).
to resolve this issue simply reinstall git.
I disabled Avast antivirus software
Then uninstalled and reinstalled git
It worked for me:)
Like jack this was caused by my virus scanner(avast). To resolve I opened the quarantine page restored and added exemption.
Try 'echo $PATH' in CygWin Terminal to get the PATH it must written something like
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/cygdrive/c/Windows/system32:/cygdrive/c/Windows:/cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/Wbem:/cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0:/cygdrive/c/Program
Files/TortoiseHg:/home
Depending on the Chroot in you sshd_config it looks for the /bin/bash file
you will have three options
you might have to copy the files into the Chroot mentioned folder and give the permission.
You can update with you Chroot
Or bind mounting would also help

To resolve this issue simply deactivate your antivirus while reinstalling git.
I'm currently running git version 1.8.0-preview20121022 on windows 7. I'd like to upgrade to the current latest version 1.9.4-preview20140611. I downloaded the installer Git-1.9.4-preview20140611.exe and ran it. It complains that I'd need to close Windows Explorer:
Clicking next just brings up an error. How am I supposed to upgrade git? Am I supposed to open the task manager and find that pid and kill it? Also my existing git installation is not in the standard program files folder, is the installer going to ask where I want to install git (so far it hasn't)?
First - reboot. You just may have a rogue run-away explorer process. It is, however, a tiny bit safer to reboot than to just kill it by its PID IMHO.
If that doesn't help - log into Windows with your admin user. With any luck it won't have the shell integration running and will not have the needed files in-use. Install your new GiT from that admin account.
If that still doesn't help... Time to use the "kill by PID" way and force your way through!
Good luck :)
I downloaded and ran setup, and it seemed to completed normally, but after it completed I didn't have cygwin in my startup menu or a shortcut on my desktop, both of which I selected. The C:\cygwin does exist, with subdirectories under it. I execute c:\cygwin\bin\xterm. It flashed on the screen with an error message, but it was too quick to read. I have run cygwin before on XP without problems, but this is the first time with Win 7.
Is there some background process that needs to be running for cygwin to work? I am wondering if the installation is OK, but I am just missing the startup menu entry or desktop icon which starts a background process, or is there some path or registry entry I need to make.
The problem was I didn't install as administrator. When I went back and re-installed as administrator, everything worked fine.
