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.

Oh, Oh! With Windows Mail being common to both it may be the reason.
I have important info in the mail Folders or I would remove it and try another mail app.
I think it is the problem.
Do you think Mail could be the issue here?
That's interesting. I am using the Window mail app, as well. Just might be the problem.
Peter, I think you solved the problem! It is Windows Mail. I reinstalled the new Edge and used it with Outlook and the browser opened normally. Thanks!
I am glad it worked out for you. I use Windows Mail as I installed MS Home and Student 2019 not so I don't have Outlook.
