GitHub for Windows can't log in [duplicate]

Question

When i install GitHub i can't log in using my acount credentials. I get the error

Login Error
unable to retrieve your user info from the server. A proxy server might be interfering with the request

I tried reinstalling several times, with no success. Also, i read somewhere that someone had a problem with rasman.dll, but i did run

sfc /scannnow

command and didn't get any reports.

Do you have any idea what might cause this problem?

UPDATE: I re-installed the app for the third time, and updated my .NET framework, and it solved my problem (i'm guessing the .NET framework update solved it, but maybe the re-installation helped :))

Are you behind a proxy server? If so, you might need to tell github so by $ git config --global http.proxy http://proxyuser:[email protected]:8080 – Crack

Nope, i'm not behing a proxy. – Pumping

I was facing the same issue, .NET framework update worked for me. No need to reinstall the GitHub Windows client. Check this thread

I update my .NET Framework but it not work. – Counterword

This does not answer the question, as the link goes to gitextensions repository, not GitHub for Windows. – Browse
