Outlook Links Wont open in Edge Chromium Beta
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.
- HotCakeXOct 03, 2019MVPThanks 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- Marc MonetteOct 03, 2019Copper Contributor
HotCakeXEDIT: I was wrong... after uninstalling and reinstalling Beta, even though it showed as the default browser, i dont think it actually was. Made sure it was the default browser, and its failing.
- HotCakeXOct 03, 2019MVPGood job, so now we know that it's only happening in Beta, must be a bug in it. Outlook and other stuff are exonerated ^^
you can try reporting this Bug using the smiley feedback button too in case developers miss this thread, it will be delivered straight to them

HotCakeX I manage the GPO's for our browsers and Office. We have not set anything for this type of action, unless its somewhere in the RS baselines. That being said, it works fine from all other browsers (IE, Chrome, Firefox and Edge "old version").
My account is an admin on this system.
I now have all 3, (Beta, Dev & Can) installed. Funny though, it works fine in Dev and Can, just not in Beta. I set the default browser to Can, Works. I set the default browser to Dev, Works. I set it back to Beta, still doesn't work. I wonder what the difference is.
Thanks,
