    We tried o365 quick repair and choose outlook pre mode.

    After that we can turn on file link in outlook temporary.

    Hi,

    Could anyone please tell me how to remove the FQDN for users? Or is the only workaround at the moment is to edit the hyperlink's location?

    My organisation appears to be in an interesting predicament where the hyperlink is pulling the files from an old file location that has not existed in 10 years, for example.

    \oldfilelocation.domain.internal\

    But this isn't happening for everyone; some staff are pulling from the correct file location, for example.

    \filelocation\

    For the staff who are able to link from the correct file location, they are not experiencing the Something unexpected went wrong with this URL issue.

    it is just the users who are pulling the files from the old location.

    So, does anyone know how to fix the location that staff are pulling their file location from?

    Thanks.

    We have a problem with the hyperlink file path, not the URL website.

    We can't open the file path in Outlook and face this popup.

    Hi,

    We've recently encountered the problem and are attempting to resolve it. I was able to find a temporary solution by changing the IP address to the server name instead, and everything is now good. If you're using a login script, you may need to update the server name as well.

    I'm hoping for a fix patch as soon as feasible.

    Thanks.

    I found the same issue but i can fix it now.

    Please try solution as below.

    > go to Control Panel >> Internet Option >> add URL, UNC, FQDN path that you want to allow

    > Adjust the scale down and select Enable Protected mode

    Hope will help to fix your problem
