Setup

2.6.2 through 2.7.4

Windows 10 64 bit

I am running 64 bit Windows 10 and had git 2.6.4 running great and even gave a presentation on it's use on this machine. At the end of the presentation, I installed SourceTree from Atlassian and Anaconda (the python env manager).

Several days later I went to use git and tried to clone a github repo and it operated without error but, the sub-folder was not created at all. I then tried several other repos that had worked in the past with the same results.

I then uninstalled SourceTree and Anaconda and tried again with the same results. I uninstalled git 2.6.4 and installed 2.7.4 and at the end of the installation a message popped up that Git for Windows has stopped working and crashed with the following:
Faulting application name: git.exe, version: 2.7.0.0, time stamp: 0x00000000
Faulting module name: ntdll.dll, version: 10.0.14251.1000, time stamp: 0x56a54488

Faulting package full name:
Faulting package-relative application ID:

It also does this when running git from command prompt. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling versions 2.6.2 through 2.7.4 with the same results.

Any ideas welcome,
Thanks,
Ed
