Outlook Links Wont open in Edge Chromium Beta

If i set the default browser to anything but Edge Beta, the links open fine from Outlook emails.  If i set it to Edge Beta, i get a message that says, "Something unexpected went wrong with this URL: (URL i clicked) Access  is denied"  Why would access be denied.

  • Hi,
    does the message appear in the browser or outlook?
    also, is it the outlook that's a UWP app or the one that's part of the Office package?

      HotCakeX Hello, thanks for the quick response. We are using Outlook for Office 365 (monthly channel). The message doesn't pop up in either Outlook or Edge (Beta) it pops up on the bottom right as a Windows 10 message. Although it does say Microsoft Outlook, so it may be coming from Outlook.

        Thanks for the additional info,
        yes it appears that it's coming from the Outlook program but maybe it's somehow related to the Edge insider too (through some group policy settings if you're in a work environment),
        can you try a few things? such as making sure you're using a Windows account with Admin rights, and also trying the same thing with Edge Dev and Canary to see whether it's a universal problem or only related to Beta channel
