Thanks for reporting @d-blackburn.

Were you able to Auth with the PAT option?

No problem @setchy!

Yeah, I just switched over to use the PAT instead, works a treat!

I was able to recreate this on my Windows VM.

Interestingly, it works on macOS...

Thinking out loud, this particular GitHub authentication method has been problematic for a while, requires parts of electron we want to remove #650, and needs a complete overhaul.

What is PAT, how to switch over? Pls explain

PAT is short for Personal Access Token and is one of three support authentication methods.

Closing this issue for now - we have others that capture the need for a rewrite of the GitHub Authentication module
