oauth login opens github.exe instead of github-desktop-plus

[programming-with-ia]

The problem

When I click on Add GitHub account, the app opens the "Sign in using your browser" dialog.

After clicking "Continue with browser", my browser tries to open github.exe (GitHub Desktop) instead of github-desktop-plus.

Expected behavior

The browser should open github-desktop-plus and continue the authentication flow normally.

Actual behavior

The browser redirects to github.exe, which launches GitHub Desktop instead of GitHub Desktop Plus.

Additional information

It looks like the OAuth callback or custom protocol handler is still pointing to GitHub Desktop (github.exe) rather than GitHub Desktop Plus.

The most likely cause is that your system is misconfigured.
Please go to: "Settings -> Apps -> Default apps -> Choose defaults by link type" and search for x-github-desktop-auth. If the registered handler is "GitHub Desktop", change it to "GitHub Desktop Plus". Then, reboot your system and try to log in again.

Please let me know if this fixes your issue.
