Distribution version
Windows x64
App Version
0.25.1

Chrome, but I also have Chrome Beta installed.
What is ODD is that when I go into my default apps and select Chrome, there is a message that says "Make Google Chrome your default browser", even though as far as I know it is already my default. When I click on any URL, link, etc, it opens Chrome.
When I click [Set default] nothing happens - the message is still there when I go back. I get the same exact message for Chrome Beta and Edge.
I tested the install on Windows Sandbox and it worked fine, so it is definitely something on my machine. But I figured you might want to determine the issue anyways for future reference.
Let me know if I can get you logs or anything.
Thanks!
Hi @PwrSrg 👋
Thanks for the detailed info — this actually helps narrow down the root cause.
AFFiNE Desktop opens the Google OAuth login page using your system's default browser.
If Windows fails to return a valid default-browser handler, the app cannot launch the Google login window — which is why clicking [Continue with Google] does nothing.
The symptoms you showed:
- Windows saying "Make Google Chrome your default browser" even when it already is
- Clicking [Set default] doing nothing
- Same behavior for Chrome Beta and Edge
- Works correctly on Windows Sandbox
…strongly suggest that Windows’ Default Apps registry association is broken on your system.
AFFiNE relies on the Windows “URL Handler” registry keys such as:
If these entries are corrupted, empty, or point to an invalid browser entry, the Google login cannot open.
