Hi,
I finally found the option to change the default browser for outlook. The option is in Outlook.
Change the default browser for Outlook:
- Open Outlook
- File
- Options
- Advanced
- File and browser preferences
- Open hyperlinks from Outlook in: Choose Default Browser
- Restart Outlook
Change the default browser for Windows 11:
- Go to Settings >> Apps >> Default Apps
- Find your preferred browser in the list and click on it.
- 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:
- Open Edge
- Click ...
- Settings
- Sidebar
- Under App and notification settings, Click Outlook
- Automatically open Outlook email context in the side pane: Toggle Off.
I hope this helps.
