    I had the same problem.

    I got solution for me in below way.

    1. Open Internet Option by typing in search bar in taskbar.
    2. Select Local Intranet.
    3. click on sites
    4. click on advance
    5. Add the file server link or ip which you want to get open.
    6. Once added the IP click close apply ok.
    7. Now close outlook and open and try. hope this will solve your problem.

    This worked for me. Thanks so much!

    If this is still a problem, the solution is as follows (via GPO):

    In user policy, you must add the domain (\example.example.int)
    The hyperlink warning must be turned off in the Registry

    @honeybee,

    Jorge added the solution to the dialog you are seeing in the main article, Outlook blocks opening FQDN and IP address hyperlinks after installing protections for Microsoft Outlook Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability released July 11, 2023 - Microsoft Support. Try this reg key from the article and see if it helps:

    When you open links in emails in Outlook Desktop where the path is to either FQDN or IP address or hostname path you will see this dialog. This is also expected. 

    Outlook security notice

    If you need to disable this dialog, follow the instructions in the article Enable or disable hyperlink warning messages in Office programs.

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\policies\microsoft\office\16.0\common\security
    DWORD: DisableHyperlinkWarning
    Value: 1

    Have you ever tested this behavior? I'm afraid, but I don't think so.

    The file shares have already been configured via GPO:

    But also via the registry:

    And nevertheless, when trying to open a link from an email in Outlook, I still encounter a warning message:

    This issue is very frustrating!

    Hi,

    The resolution is well describe in the Microsoft documentation and it requires your IT team to deploy an GPO, this is faster is more secure

    Outlook blocks opening FQDN and IP address hyperlinks after installing protections for Microsoft Outlook Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability released July 11, 2023 - Microsoft Support

    In order to add the file shares in registry by GPO, consider the following:

    If it’s a Domain

    GPO Domain example

    For the Contoso example above, it is set in the registry here:
    Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\contoso.com

    If it is an IP address, it is set in the registry here:
    Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Ranges\Range1

    And for each IP address share it is required to create a new Range key under Ranges.

    Example of a Domain

    Example of an IP:
