Description

- OS: Windows
- Version of IPFS Desktop [0.21.0](https://github.com/ipfs/kubo/releases/tag/v0.21.0)
- WebUI commit: https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-webui/commit/a43dd23

## Describe the bug
I got this popup in the app after clicking on the “Status” button in the left navigation bar.

This does not happen always. It first appeared after the update to 0.21.0, though.

## To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Go to some other page
2. Click on “Status”
3. Get popup that Windows can't understand the link webui (probably `webui://` is meant with that) and it asks if I wanna search the Windows Store for an App for that.

## Expected behavior
Should not appear.

## Screenshots

## Additional context
Most of the time I can navigate to the status page fine. But sometimes this appears and is then reproduceable until I navigate a bit somewhere else around in the app.

Couldn't find a real consistent pattern yet when this bug happens.

## LOGS

> If possible:
> 1. From the "IPFS icon" menu in your menubar/system tray, go to `Advanced` → `Open Logs Directory` *(for Linux users who do not have this menu, logs can be found in `$HOME/.config/IPFS Desktop` )*
> 2. Find `*.log` files
> 3. Attach `error.log` and `combined.log` to this issue.

Neither `error.log` nor `combined.log` contain anything about this event.
