 Holly asks that Outlook links won't open in Chrome, despite Chrome being the default browser. It used to work fine, but maybe a week ago for some reason, it stopped. They are now opening in Bing, which is not a browser, but anyway, we know what she means, which I don't like. Any ideas how to fix this? Did it start not working on a Wednesday? Because Microsoft probably made their update on a Tuesday and broke the default applications. That happens to me all the time. They just keep reverting it back. No, you want to use Edge. No, you really want to use Edge. No, really, really, really, you want to use Edge. Anybody else have that issue? Yeah. Well, I gave up on that a long time ago when I used Edge. Yeah. As default. Of course, the point of that is she's saying that if she specifically takes the email link, or takes those links and puts them into Chrome, that they won't open there either, or is it just the automatic? I click this and it opens up Edge instead. No, I think it's just the default. It opens up Edge instead. It's just there is a setting in Outlook, believe it or not, as to what browser you can it's going to look for. Yeah. I don't remember exactly where that is, but there is a setting in Outlook that will say, if you get a link clicked in an email, use this browser and it probably indeed is set for Edge. Yeah. I actually ran into this because my machine is doing the same thing for the last two weeks, three weeks. I was like, well, you just go into Settings, and then you pick Apps and then Default Apps, and you say whenever you open up a web page to change it to Chrome rather than Edge. Well, that doesn't work because if you open up a link in Outlook, you actually have to go set it in Outlook as well. Then they say that they've added so many different file types that all point to Edge, that it really depends on what type of link you're clicking on as well. So it may be an HTML link, it may be a, what do they call it, a WebP link, it may be a MHT email link, it may be a file link. But if you go into Settings now, on my Windows 11 machine that is, I don't know about Windows 10, but on my Windows 11, it has a full load more options for Default Apps and they all go to Edge. So I did put two links in the references, one for how to set your default programs, and one to how to set your default browser in Outlook. Thank you for teaching me something that I didn't know about that either. Yeah, the actual link in Outlook is under Advanced, and it's a section called Link Handling, that we both link handling, open hyperlinks from Outlook in drop-down list. Is that going to be true in there? Edge or default browser is the two choices I have. So let me ask this, do you think this is going to be the way they go about this in every M365 app where you actually have to go into the app to set the browser rather than having it as part of the default on the OS? Because they haven't done this before. I think it is only between the two. I don't think that there is that control in any other workload. I think it's email and then desktop. Because I'm looking at OneNote right now, I just wanted to see if OneNote actually had an option where it opens its links. I don't think that I can recall having seen that directive in any of the other settings. Okay. List. So that doesn't mean it ain't there. That means I haven't seen it. That it's always changing and evolving and they keep, like I said, you sure you don't want to use Edge? You really, really sure you don't want to use Edge? Maybe you really want to use Edge? It's like, no, I said it this way for a reason. Yeah. Personally, I like the profiles in Chrome better. They seem more stable where when I create profiles in the Edge browser, it's constantly asking me, do you want to be this person or this person? Like, well, I was in this profile and that's why I want to be this person. They just keep switching back and Chrome seems to be a little more stable for those. So I will drink the rest of the Kool-Aid when it works as intended. Yeah. You don't want to miss those Bing rewards, because you got to use Bing and get those multitude of Bing rewards coming your way. Cold hard cash or whatever it is. I don't know. Mike, I suspect you're being sarcastic. Oh, just a little bit. Straight up, I use those Bing rewards to restock some gift cards like my coffee card. I won't like shamelessly- You actually used them? I do. You are the first person I have met that has actually used those. Yeah. I'm honest with you. Totally honest. I search in Bing. I search in Bing. I do search in Bing, but I do like the browser for the Chrome browser for profiles. I think the last time that I used credits from Bing, I purchased music on my Zoom. Thing wasn't even around when Zoom- I know it was. It was pre-Bing. It was the, remember when Microsoft was trying to make Microsoft search, they were trying to go after the shopping thing. I was actually at Microsoft when they did that. They acquired a company called Jellyfish that was a precursor to the awards and program. Remember when they said for shopping experience, they wanted to make Microsoft search the destination. That's when you could add the Internet Explorer Shopping Toolbar. You could actually add the toolbar, which gave you the shopping experience of coupons and everything else. I don't know if you remember that. That was like 2008 when they introduced that stuff. That's nuts. That was at the height of the Zoom craze that was sweeping the nation and beyond.
