First of all, the home page of Git for Windows has hints where to report bugs (and where to look for possible resolutions first).

Second, this issue is so common that I wrote a wiki page about it: https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/wiki/32-bit-issues

Short version: reinstall Git for Windows. Preferably a 64-bit Git for Windows 2.x from https://git-for-windows.github.io/. And you might want to heed the advice given in http://git-for-windows.github.io/#contribute when you want to report bugs ;-)

Ciao, Johannes
