Links in emails open in Edge even though it's not my default browser

[Itsjustbeej]

Hi folks,

Even though I've told Outlook to open links in my default browser (see attachment) and Chrome is my default browser, links are opening in Edge.



My company's IT policies won't let me uninstall Edge. Is there any other way to prevent this behavior?

Thanks,

Beej

If Outlook is not honoring your Options choice:

If you are in a IT Managed Environment, there may be a Group Policy over-ridding your Options setting.

You can also try changing your Windows Default Browser:

And turn off the Outlook Sidebar (if applicable):

Some links can be "hard coded" to open in Edge:

If you are really hard core, you can try Edge Redirect. I have never used this program and can not offer any advice about it's use.
