For those who are still experiencing the issue, can you please open a PowerShell, run this and paste the output here?

$progId = $(Get-ItemProperty -Path Registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Associations\UrlAssociations\http\UserChoice -Name ProgId).ProgId
$command = $(Get-ItemProperty -Path Registry::HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\$progId\shell\open\command).'(default)'
Write-Host $progId
Write-Host $command

This will query the content of the registry keys used by the PowerToys plugin to determine the browser.

对于那些仍然遇到问题的人，您能否打开一个PowerShell，运行它并将输出粘贴到这里？

$progId = $(Get-ItemProperty -Path Registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Associations\UrlAssociations\http\UserChoice -Name ProgId).ProgId
$command = $(Get-ItemProperty -Path Registry::HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\$progId\shell\open\command).'(default)'
Write-Host $progId
Write-Host $command

这将查询 PowerToys 插件用于确定浏览器的注册表键的内容。

@bitons Can you also try to run Start-Process "https://github.com" in a PowerShell window? Does github.com open in an Edge window?

Thanks to the contributors. After updating PowerToys from 0.83.0 to 0.84.0, this problem was solved on my computer.
