[[Windows] Cursor editor disappeared from external editors list / Windsurf addition · Issue #20116 · desktop/desktop · GitHub](https://github.com/desktop/desktop/issues/20116) - I’ve created an issue on GitHub and already created PR to fix that.

But the key in registry feels suspicious, you have published installer with debug keys for install? I don’t know.

Anyway, it is something you need to check.
