To make Github Desktop locate Git successfully, the URI of Git must be given in environment variable %PATH%.

I suggest to assign %GitPath% value of URI of Git, say C:\Program Files\Git\bin; then append %GitPath% to the end of %PATH%, and don't forget about path seperator (;).

At last, restart Github Desktop after assigning the environment variables, if it is still running.
