Using SHARE in EDGE to send others links

When I attempt to use the SHARE feature in EDGE to send others links I want them to read, I get an empty email pane pop-up that is not populated with a link or anything in the subject line (its blank). I turned off extensions to determine if there was a conflict, but no luck. Can anyone assist with my problem.

  • It sounds like the Share feature in Microsoft Edge isn’t properly passing the link to your email client. This usually happens if your default mail app isn’t set correctly or there's a miscommunication between Edge and your email program.

    Make sure your default email app is set properly on your computer. On Windows, go to Settings then Apps then Default Apps, then scroll to or search for Mail and check that it’s set to your preferred email client such as Outlook or Mail. Also, ensure that the browser and email client are both up to date.

    If you're using Outlook desktop, try setting it as the default through Outlook settings too, just to be safe. Restart your system after making these changes and then try using Share again.

    Let me know if it still opens a blank email, we can try a few more steps.
