How to stop Outlook links being opened in Edge

Hi,

Normally my Outlook links open in my default browser Chrome.

Today they started to open in Edge even though Chrome is still the default browser.

How do I get them to open in Chrome again?

I am using Windows 11 with the Outlook app.

Thanks

This is a new feature in OUTLOOK and has nothing to do with the default apps in the OS settings.

Go to Outlook Options > Advanced > Link Handling > "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in:" > Select "Default Browser".

    Hey folx,

    New year (almost to the day) and same problem, only there are no "advanced settings" in PWA outlook that's in current fashion right now. There is no option for "link" let alone "link handling."

    Grateful for any ideas,

    Things have been moved ("evolved"):

    Look at Options > Advanced > File and browser preferences section:

    Open hyperlinks from Outlook in: [Default browser]

    It's actually getting worse. I have to reset a large number of defaults weekly as Microsoft keeps changing them to Microsoft products. Not only would I rather use products, some of which I paid for; but it causes me to unknowingly publicly show my IP which I do not wish to do. Windows gets worse with every release and Microsoft refuses to reverse this vile course.
