no run/responce in windows 10

[nepravelniy]

1. downloaded lastest Browsers_windows.zip from the release section
2. unarchived zip content into folder on desktop
3. run install.bat via double click and got prompt that everything installed for current user
4. went into settings, set as default browser
5. clicked a link in telegram without any success
6. run uninstaller from same folder on desktop, switched back default browser
7. installed again with administrator rights for all users, set as default browser
8. clicked a link in telegram without any success
9. tried to run directly from program files folder without any luck

i don't know what to do, i don't find any logs and don't get any crash reports. it simply does nothing.
i have several browsers installed (non portable, default locations) and hurl able to detect them automatically (edge, arc, zen)

System:

• OS: windows 10 22h2

This issue is also happening to me. When I try to open a link, nothing happens.
The logs are stored at the following path: %LocalAppData%\software.Browsers\logs
Here is the content of the log file created when I click a link:

@66BA9Q-ME49 may I ask you to provide your Windows version as well?

[66BA9Q-ME49]

I'm on Windows 11 23H2 (OS Build 22631.5039).

I tried again using the last CI build, but Browsers still doesn't start.

tracking, as I'm the same boat.
Just installed, no UI when running the exe, ps1 script does not notify of a new default browser.
Setting as default browser didn't do the trick either.

I'll be happy to supply whatever you need to triage this.

I released version 0.7.0. I didn't knowingly fix any issues that you have, but it's worth a try.

[Lockszmith-GH]

No change.
I'm completely green to rust. I've installed rust-analyzer extension on VSCode, ran cargo build - I'm unsure, but it seems to me that the browser detection process is returning without any results.

Any pointers on how to debug this?
