title: Fatal: unable to access getaddrinfo() thread failed to start
body: <p>This was working 1 month back. But recently it is showing following error when I try to either sync or pull from repository.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Error: <em>git.exe pull --progress -v --no-rebase "origin" fatal: unable to access getaddrinfo() thread failed to start</em></li>
  <li>Also I have verified that I am not able to connect github.com. I mean when pinged to github.com it returns no response</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I have viewed following threads. Answers / comments given in these threads are not working for me.</p>

  <ul>
  <li>I am using Windows 10 Professional version and Visual Studio 2019
  Community Edition. </li>
  <li>I am accessing GIT repository from <a href="https://xxxx.visaulstudio.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://xxxx.visaulstudio.com/</a> </li>
  <li>Repository URL is HTTPS and not SSH</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I have tried following solutions :</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Delete credentials from windows credential manager</li>
  <li>Uninstall GIT for Windows and installed latest one (2.26.2.1)</li>
  <li><p>Removed GIT folder from location "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual
  Studio\2019\Community\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TeamFoundation\Team
  Explorer"</p></li>
  <li><p>Verified Anti Virus (Quick Heal). There is no record or setting for blocking particular domain
  5  There is no issue of firewall.</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>but none of these are working.</p>
  
  <p>I saw following link and same is reported by multiple users. It seems to be issue with compatibility of Git Credential Manager with Azure Devops authentication</p>
