hi Stef,  
I feel you missed my point. Probably I wasn't clear this has already been tested with latest Pharo 8 launched by PharoLauncher.  
The problem occurs with Pharo 7.0.3(64 bit) and with Pharo8.0-SNAPSHOT-build.635(64 bit) 
after Microsoft Windows Update 1903...

If indeed 1903 is the cause, with this update now being *forced* down on people, this will potentially soon impact more and more Windows users.
But my guess that 1903 is the culprit needs to be confirmed.  
So I am requesting someone with access to multiple Windows machines directly compare a 1903 machine with a pre-1903 machine. 

indeed I misunderstood you :)

Hi ben 

in the pharo launcher if you click on P8.0 (development version) you get access to all the builds.

IThis morning the May 2019 Windows Update "1903" forced itself onto my computer and now 64-bits Pharo seems to have a problem with git_remote_fetch() FFI callout.  I no longer have a non-1903 machine to directly compare behaviour before "1903".  Can someone familiar with this area with both "pre-1903" and "1903" machines triage whether "1903" is indeed the cause?

A few other recent reports are noted here...
