Element Desktop (Win11 OS) cannot consistently open deep links

[ohrytsenko]

Steps to reproduce

1. Open the Element Desktop app
2. Navigate to matrix.to link via browser (e.g. https://matrix.to/#/#element-web:matrix.org)
3. Press "Continue" to open a deeplink content via Element Desktop app using element://vector/webapp/#/ link (e.g. element://vector/webapp/#/room/%23element-web%3Amatrix.org?via=matrix.org)
4. Element Desktop app opens a deep link content (a particular room, message, user profile)
5. Open the another matrix.to deep link via Element Desktop without restart of the app (e.g. https://matrix.to/#/#matrix-dev:matrix.org)

Outcome

What did you expect?

Element Desktop app opens a deep link content (a particular room, message, user profile)

What happened instead?

Nothing

After testing, I can admit that the link opens only once after starting the Element Desktop app.
It seems that Element Desktop corrupts the Windows registry state during link handling, which affects subsequent deeplink openings.
The restart of the Element Desktop fixes the Windows registry state for and app can correctly open 1 link.
