When logging in using GitHub, I am unable to return to OpenHuman after authorization.

Me neither, I used Google login, it kept me stuck at the loader after verification

Same Win 11, Firefox, Edge and Chrome. The link back isn't hitting OpenHuman whether open or closed.

(workaround to get it working) run as admin (windows x64) in cmd :

reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WOW6432Node\openhuman" /ve /d "URL:OpenHuman Protocol" /f

reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WOW6432Node\openhuman" /v "URL Protocol" /d "" /f

reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WOW6432Node\openhuman\shell\open\command" /ve /d ""C:\Program Files\OpenHuman\OpenHuman.exe" "%1"" /f

Already uninstalled. Why not waiting for another three weeks to see what this can be?

I corrected the last line to:

reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WOW6432Node\openhuman\shell\open\command" /ve /d ""C:\Program Files\OpenHuman\OpenHuman.exe" "%1""

I'm afraid no beans. Am excited for this and will be watching!

maybe also add this: reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\openhuman\shell\open\command" /ve /d ""C:\Program Files\OpenHuman\OpenHuman.exe" "%1"" /f

ten once oauth doen, you can close openhuman, repaste the link and it will run.

If this does not work, i think it is better to wait for the pro's to fix it

Temp User Fix: After the regex changes, I reopened openhuman as administrator, then forced the 'Copied URL' via new windows shortcut - that logged me in. I can now run non-administrator.

Same root cause as tinyhumansai#2228 — the hot-instance openhuman://oauth/... callback isn't being forwarded to the already-running app, because tauri-plugin-single-instance was missing its deep-link cargo feature. The GitHub OAuth flow completes in the browser, but the deep link never reaches the app, so it stays stuck on "Connecting".

Fix is on main via PR tinyhumansai#2229 (commit 9566f2c5), awaiting release. As a workaround, fully close OpenHuman before clicking the GitHub authorize button — the cold-launch path already handles the deep link correctly.

Closing as duplicate of tinyhumansai#2228.
