How to prevent 'git fetch' from hanging when executed from .bat file on Windows 10?

[Sergey Beloglazov]

Good day!

OS: Windows 10

Git: version 2.28.0.windows.1

I use Git for Windows for working with remote git repository. When I execute a command git fetch --all from command line it works fine. It update local repository from remote repository in several seconds. It takes less than 5-6 seconds. I have made a .bat file for Windows with commands like this

C:
cd C:\ProjectDir
git fetch --all

When I run it e.g. by using double-click in Windows Explorer it hangs. I wait for 1-2 minutes, but nothing happens. I tried add -v parameter to git. It shows all updated branches and hangs after it. I made a Windows link with working folder c:\ProjectDir and chandged .bat to 1 line command:

git fetch --all

But it hangs too. How can I use Windows Git in a .bat file?

Curious.

Have you had a chance to see what it does by running Process Monitor
