When I click on a URL Edge opens minimized on the Taskbar and flashing

Anonymous

I have just updated to the new Edge (Chrome Look-alike).

When using the "old" Edge, it would automatically open when I clicked on a URL.  All was fine.

With the "New" Edge, when you click on a link it sits in the task bar flashing at you.  You then have to click on the flashing icon to open up Edge.

I find this very annoying and would like to know if there is a way to remedy this so that it automatically opens again.

If this is how the "New" Edge is supposed to operate, then I think it is a backward step and not progressive.

    Thanks Peter,

    I think it's in the new Edge, I was doing great until the update forced me into.

    I would have thought with a new Edge and Outlook you would not have any issues from what I deduced in the posts. Then again I do not have Outlook.

    Maybe it has to do with online or in your machine.

    I wish you success.

    My problem didn't start until the update. I didn't install the new Edge when they first rolled it out. My problem started with the update. I have the Microsoft 365 subscription which comes with Outlook.

    Thanks Pedro.

    I either break down and buy Outlook or live with Mail but at least this nagging issue is resolved.

    It is not a big issue but I wondered why Mail acted that way and if there was a fix. 

    You know what you get for nothing.

    Tenga un buen día.

    Otra Pedro  :)

    Hi Peter D. N.

    I sympathize with you.

    Yep I have Office 2010 on my laptop and Office Pro 2016 on Desktop and it is this that Outlook is included.

    I check all of my emails on my desktop now.  Sorry I can't be of further help.

    When I did move to Outlook I was still having problems until I deleted and then re-installed the New Edge and installed updates that were available for it.  Now no problems,

    Pedro
