What version of WebTorrent Desktop? (See the 'About WebTorrent' menu)
Version 0.17.1 (0.97.2) (64-bit)

What operating system and version?
Windows 10 - 1607

What did you do?
Click on a magnet link in my browser

What did you expect to happen?
Open webtorrent

What actually happened?
Nothing


Also, In preferences it says:
"WebTorrent is your default torrent app. Horray!"

I've tried reinstalling, didn't work

I've tried going to windows defaults and webtorrents does not appear as an option. On the following screenshot you can see that only chrome and "Search in the store" options appear.

I guess that WebTorrent is not reporting correctly the files that can open :/

webtorrent update engin make new version folder every time when update to new release
so old exe path not exists

but didn't re-config uri-handler & default app
so always fail when new update out

and didn't give us a force re-config button
and re-install can't fixed this
cos webtorrent think they already is default app

@bluelovers I want to fix this issue before we release WebTorrent Desktop 1.0. Sorry it's taking a while. This will happen eventually.

@feross i think is if (state.unsaved.prefs.isFileHandler !== state.saved.prefs.isFileHandler)

should chk ( FileHandler, Protocol ) when start up or open option window , not use exists cached prefs

i tryed fixed this before, but it make code looks not pretty
