    Hi,

    Via https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com/forum/all/outlook-links-dont-open-in-chrome-set-as-default/7e498496-7b9b-4cef-9fe2-ca0fae9daf1f

    I finally found the option to change the default browser for outlook. The option is in Outlook.

    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'

    Turn off Outlook Side bar:

    If you do use Edge but only want to turn off the Outlook Side bar that pops up in edge when you click a link in your email, follow these steps:

    1. Open Edge
    2. Click ...
    3. Settings
    4. Sidebar
    5. Under App and notification settings, Click Outlook
    6. Automatically open Outlook email context in the side pane: Toggle Off.

    I hope this helps.
