The option to associate deluge with magnets doesn't work.
When I go to apps and try to choose default app by link type, deluge isn't listed and there's no "more apps" option either.
Can't associate magnets with Deluge on Windows 11
Re: Can't associate magnets with Deluge on Windows 11
Same exact issue I had.
What fixed it for me was actually in my Firefox settings, not windows settings.
Settings > General > Files and Applications > Applications > magnet - "Use other..."
And from there it game me a popup letting me choose Deluge as the default for magnets.
Not sure about the process with other browsers; but I'd think it'd be somewhat similar.

I can't seem to add magnet links to deluge at all. I have tried registry edits and tried setting it in windows default apps and nothing is working it keeps using qBittorrent which isn't my primary. When clicking to add magnet link association nothing happens I just figured I have to apply it and that was it. I see from searching that it's suppose to pop Windows settings up.

In "Other" in preferences in Deluge, you will see an associate button for magnet links. Have you tried this
Deluge
