Intellij - Cannot Run Git

Question

I have noticed that on Version Control window, in tabs Log and Local changes there is no information. Only following error appears:

Error updating changes: Cannot identify version of git executable C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git.exe

When I have clicked Test in Settings > Version Control > Git, entered above path in Path to Git executable following window appeared: Link

After typing in CMD command git --version I get output:

git version 2.17.0.windows.1

What is more after writing some code Intellij is not highlighting changes.

I don't have any idea why it is not working... Any ideas?
