It seems that FQDN is now broken in Outlook / File Explorer :(
Hi All,
Does anyone have a temporary solution for this issue?
Outlook online or reinstall office to an older version currently.
im not to sure there is a temp solution with out breaking up your existing update solutions, i've removed the updates that caused the issues , but they will then re-install , and if your patching to a security level your then non-compliant , moving office back to a previous version isn't practical across 100's pc's within a company , and again you'll need to amend your update policies to not apply the latest release of office ,
MS really need to get a fix in place for this
the only particle way to work around is to copy the link to run ad open from there ,this works fine
I'm using build 16529.20182, do not have the Security update (KB5002427) and I'm seeing the same issue.
FQDN path doesn't work but the UNC path does with a pop-up.
