G'day, @Nick Ford 

Welcome to the community!

I recall that a specific version of Git for Windows had a bug that caused timeouts during clone, pull, or fetch operations. Since you seem to be using an outdated version of Git, I recommend updating to the latest version to see if that resolves the issue.

Let me know how it goes.

That did it, upgraded to latest Git v2.47
Thanks Syahrul.
