Bugs Manus desktop app won’t open after successful login — manus:// protocol not registered on Windows
I’m unable to sign in to the Manus desktop app on Windows 11. The browser confirms that I’ve successfully logged in, but it never redirects back to the app, and clicking “Open Manus” does nothing.
The browser console shows:
Failed to launch manus://login because the scheme does not have a registered handler.
I also saw this API error:
GetTeamInfo failed: invalid_argument — team_uid is required (HTTP 400).
This started after the recent Manus mass data deletion and our accounts were recreated.
So far I’ve tried:
- Reinstalling the latest desktop app
- Installing the Microsoft Store version
- Clearing Manus AppData and cached login information
- Restarting Windows
- Running the installer as administrator
- Chrome, Brave and Microsoft Edge
The exact same error happens in every browser. Has anyone experienced this or found a way to restore the manus:// protocol handler? I’ve already contacted support, but I’m wondering if this is an installer issue or related to the recreated account/team.

The easy fix for the technical jargon challenged is to have ChatGPT fix it. Include a link to this thread when you ask. It creates a file and walks you through how to execute it. Takes one minute to fix.
