When I click a link in Outlook, it opens in Edge even though Chrome is the default web application. I’ve verified that in Apps > Default Apps that Google Chrome is the default web browser.

Here is the solution:

Change the default browser for Outlook:

  1. Open Outlook

  2. File

  3. Options

  4. Advanced

  5. File and browser preferences

  6. Open hyperlinks from Outlook in: Choose Default Browser

  7. Restart Outlook

Change the default browser for Windows 11:

  1. Go to Settings » Apps » Default Apps

  2. Find your preferred browser in the list and click on it.

  3. Click the button ‘Set default’
