Hi @mudnug, any change to do some tests? 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

Can you also try to run Start-Process "https://github.com" in a PowerShell window?
Is BrowseRouter launched?

This would help determine if there is something wrong with the code used to find the systems default browser.

BrowseRouterURL
Z:\BrowseRouter\BrowseRouter.exe %1

"Search the web" fails with the messagebox and "Open in default browser" works (for URLs).
