How To Change Outlook Settings: Default Browser

Outlook
Everyone has their own preferred browser, but if that’s not Edge then Outlook may have started opening links in emails in Edge regardless of your preferred choice. Setting another browser as default does not override this behaviour.

It’s a quick fix to change this so that Outlook uses your default browser.
