Occasionally when performing git operations with TortoiseGit I keep running into various failures randomly, wherein if I retry it once or twice afterward it will succeed in performing the same operation. This happens randomly across the board on pulls, pushes, commits, check-outs etc.
Going into the general settings, I can push a button to query the version where I assume it makes a call to git.exe to poll the version, and this random failure behavior is visible there as well.
This is on a workstation supplied by the company that I work in, so my user does not have explicit administrative access to it. (Worth noting is that on my personal computer at home I have never encountered such an issue.) So I was wondering if this could be due to some group policy which goes berzerk randomly or due to something else?
Here's a small demo on how the issue looks from the general settings perspective:

I would suggest uninstalling both, then downloading and installing, in order:
If this does not help, please let me know your installed versions of both products.
