Sometimes latest versions of the software can cause issues when installed on older devices or devices running an older version of the operating system. Software makers usually fix these issues but it can take them some time. What you can do in the meantime is to download and install an older version of Git for Windows 2.40.0 (32-bit).

What's new in this version:

New Features:
- Comes with Git v2.40.0
- In the olden Git days, there were "dashed" Git commands (e.g. git-commit instead of git commit). These haven't been supported for interactive use in a really, really long time. But they still worked in Git aliases and hooks ("scripts"). Since Git v1.5.4 (released on February 2nd, 2008), it was discouraged/deprecated to use dashed Git commands even in scripts. As of this version, Git for Windows no longer supports these dashed commands.
- Comes with tig v2.5.8
- Comes with Bash v5.2 patchlevel 15
- Comes with OpenSSL v1.1.1t
- Comes with GNU TLS v3.8.0
- Comes with cURL v7.88.1
- Comes with libfido2 v1.13.0
- Comes with Git Credential Manager v2.0.935

Fixed:
- Some commands mishandled absolute paths near the drive root (e.g. scalar unregister C:/foo), which has been fixed
- When trying to call Cygwin (or for that matter, MSYS2) programs from Git Bash, users would frequently be greeted with cryptic error messages about a "cygheap" or even just an even more puzzling exit code 127. Many of these calls now succeed, allowing basic interactions. While it is still not possible for, say, Cygwin's vim.exe to interact with the Git Bash's terminal window, it is now possible for Cygwin's zstd.exe in conjuction with Git for Windows' tar.exe to handle .tar.zst archives.
