I too have this issue. I bought a new PC this week and the same issue happens to me in Windows 11 x64 (including using the base URL, which works fine until I click the /web link.) I dual boot ArchLinux, and an older compile works fine, and this used to work on my previous computer in Windows 11.

Found 2 workarounds...

1. Downgrading to ver. 51 seems to work.

2. With ver. 52, adding "--disableGpu" to options, also looks to work.
   Edit: ^^^ disable-gpu fails afterall, works for the QR code page, but gives whitepage and "ERROR:interface_endpoint_client.cc(697)] Message 0 rejected by interface blink.mojom.WidgetHost" errors after.

For me that becomes:

nativefier \
	"https://messages.google.com/web" \
	"$target" \
	--icon "$HOME/Pictures/Icons/android-messages-logo.png" \
	--name "Android Messages" \
	--platform "linux" \
	--tray \
	--portable \
	--honest \
	--single-instance \
	--disable-dev-tools \
	--disableGpu

Thank you, jenschurchill! Downgrading to 51.0.0 fixes the issue for me as well.
