Tried a repair installation? - Can you start TortoiseGitProc.exe in c:\Program 
Files\TortoiseGit\bin? - Do you see overlay icons? - Is the TortoiseGit menu 
shown if you press SHIFT while right clicking?

Tried a repair installation?
- Yes of course. I thing that last version which is OK is 
TortoiseGit-1.8.1.0-64bit.msi on Windows 8.1 Pro

Can you start TortoiseGitProc.exe in c:\Program Files\TortoiseGit\bin?
- No. Start c:\Program Files\TortoiseGit\bin\TortoiseGitProc.exe cause error 
0xc000007b
See attached file:
TortoiseGitProc.png - error window
TG_Windows_Log_Event.txt - detail information from windows log event

Do you see overlay icons?
- No.

Is the TortoiseGit menu shown if you press SHIFT while right clicking?
- No.

It looks as if you Windows installation is somekind broken.
0xc000007b menas that there is a dll problem (e.g., a missing dll).

Could you try to downlaod and install the Visual C++ Redistributable Packages 
für Visual Studio 2013 
(https://www.microsoft.com/de-de/download/details.aspx?id=40784)?

I have installed Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows Desktop - ENU.

I tried install Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 from 
[http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784] as you wrote 
and I update TortoiseGit from 1.8.1.0 to actual 1.8.14.0 and restart PC.

After restart nothing change. Version 1.8.1.0 was working and version 1.8.14.0 
not working.

After install version 1.8.14.0 I checked:
- Start c:\Program Files\TortoiseGit\bin\TortoiseGitProc.exe - cause same error 
0xc000007b
- windows log event - same as before

Have you tried 1.8.2.0 ~ 1.8.12.0?

Maybe its another DLL which is missing. Try a tool like "Dependency Walker" in 
order to find out which one.

Dependency Walker looks like a good idea, but how? and which one exactly?
How? => search it one by one?

Any news on this issue?

There are lots of dependency walkers and iirc most of these will point oput 
missing DLLs.
