This is an issue with the app registration. They do not provide a good experience for desktop system browser (http://localhost) nor for Windows Broker.

Correct guidance for desktop apps is - use broker where possible (mostly Windows, Mac and Linux soon), fallback to system browser where not possible. See https://aka.ms/msal-net-wam
