Git Extensions executable disappears

I have recently installed both Git Extensions 3.4.3 and git-2.30.1 64bit windows on Windows 10. Once installed, after a short amount of time, I will be presented with this IO error:

At this point, Git Extensions crashes and the executable has disappeared from program files. Additionally, my Git version has seemingly reverted back to version 2.7:

To troubleshoot the issue I completely uninstalled git extensions and git (removing git from path as well) and reinstalled but the issue persists and within a short time will occur all over again.

Solution

  • Issue was due to Microsoft Software Center policies established by my organization.
