Hi @gatorlanphear ! 👋

I'm not sure what this is about, but seems to happen when the app tries to store your GitHub user token in the Windows Credentials Manager. Could you try rebooting your machine and try again? Hopefully that's all you need 🤞

Another report on the subject: #15226
The context is the same... the error appears when GitHub Desktop tries to save the credentials in the credential manager. Could you check if you have GitHub - {your_github_url} in your credential manager (open search > search for "Credential Manager" > Windows Credentials)? Also, in #12712, running GitHub Desktop as admin fixed the issue.

I do not have GitHub - anything in Credential Manager and it does not work if run as administrator.

It looks like the issue is related to too many entries in Windows Credential Manager. At some point the os calls CredWrite and it fails with ERROR_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY 😞 Visual Studio Code has the same issue in the "Troubleshooting keychain issues" section of its docs. Some users report that it works properly once they remove some of the entries in the Credential Manager.

Could you try to run cmdkey /list (through PowerShell as Administrator) to see how many entries you have?

it worked but I've had to delete production credentials to make it work. It won't last.

¡Pude eliminar una credencial y funcionó! ¡Gracias por tu ayuda bro!

This solution always work for me.

Go to Control Panel -> User Accounts -> Manage your credentials -> Windows Credentials

Before do anythings below, please do not forget Back up Credentials to make sure you did not remove important credentials accidentally.

After backed up then remove unnecessary or no longer use credentials such as mapping drive, credentials related to old software that you've uninstalled, etc. This way help to free up space of Credentials Manager.

Try to open Github Desktop and see if the problem has been gone to the wind. If yes, congratuation and you will see "Github - https://....." on Generic Credentials

Again solved by deleting tons of credentials. About 100+ starting with XblGrts in my case.

Now Roblox Studio also logs in properly.

Is bizarre that so many apps are relying on this feature that clearly doesn't work.

It works if you delete some old credentials. As others mentioned, there is probably an error with older credentials existing and then it throws an automatic error. I did not have to run the application in admin. I did not have to reboot the computer. I just deleted some credentials :)
