Answer 1

If you installed (or reinstalled) Visual Studio to, say, the D: drive, the pointer to the certificate will change. Reinstalling Git desktop won't help in this case.
To Fix: Find the old gitconfig file and open (in admin mode) in a suitable editor and change the path(s) to point to where the new installation is (or, in my case, just the drive letter).
C:\Program Files\Git\etc\gitconfig
The file would look something like so:
[diff "astextplain"]
textconv = astextplain
[filter "lfs"]
clean = git-lfs clean -- %f
smudge = git-lfs smudge -- %f
process = git-lfs filter-process
required = true
[http]
sslBackend = openssl
sslCAInfo = C:/Program Files/Git/mingw64/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt
[core]
autocrlf = true
fscache = true
symlinks = false
editor = \"C:\\\\Program Files\\\\Microsoft VS Code\\\\bin\\\\code\" --wait
[pull]
rebase = false
[credential]
helper = manager-core
[credential "https://dev.azure.com"]
useHttpPath = true
[init]
defaultBranch = master
After the changes, it would look something like this:
[diff "astextplain"]
textconv = astextplain
[filter "lfs"]
clean = git-lfs clean -- %f
smudge = git-lfs smudge -- %f
process = git-lfs filter-process
required = true
[http]
sslBackend = openssl
sslCAInfo = D:/Program Files/Git/mingw64/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt
[core]
autocrlf = true
fscache = true
symlinks = false
editor = \"D:\\\\Program Files\\\\Microsoft VS Code\\\\bin\\\\code\" --wait
[pull]
rebase = false
[credential]
helper = manager-core
[credential "https://dev.azure.com"]
useHttpPath = true
[init]
defaultBranch = master
A lot of programs (including VS) will install something on the c: drive, and if you had the situation I had (not enough room on C: - so I uninstalled all the space hogging programs and reinstalled onto the D: drive), there is usually some sort of configuration file that points to the new location(s), so, it's a good idea to keep this in mind.

Answer 2

install git https://git-scm.com/download/win again and it will fix the issue.
