Research direction
Start by reproducing the login loop in the ChatGPT desktop app on Windows 11 using the Microsoft Store installation and version 26.908.9136.0, comparing it with the working browser login. Done means the app completes login and loads instead of flickering between login options and “ChatGPT hit a snag”.
