Git for Windows stopped working - VS Team Services

I am running VS 2017 on Windows Server 2012 and am trying to connect to Visual Studio Team Services. However, whenever I try to do a sync, fetch, etc Git for Windows crashes with the message "Git for Windows has stopped working".

This looks to be happening in git-remote-https.exe. I tried disabling my virus scanner but had no luck. I also installed the latest version of Git which didn't help.

Below are the details:

Looks like this could be due to a 'MinGit' install added by Visual Studio (see the Visual Studio Team reply to this issue: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/26539/vs2017-deployed-gitexe-not-usable.html)

I removed the VS Git install (for me at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TeamFoundation\Team Explorer\Git\mingw32\bin\git.exe).

Visual Studio then used my normal full install of git, and ran fine after that.
