If you use Microsoft Outlook as your primary email client and prefer Google Chrome as your default web browser, you may have noticed that clicking on links in your emails will open them in Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer instead of Chrome. This can be frustrating, but fortunately, there is a simple solution to this problem.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to set Outlook to open links in Chrome:
1. Open the Settings app in Windows 10. You can do this by clicking on the Start menu and selecting the gear icon or by pressing the Windows key + I on your keyboard.
2. Click on the “Apps” option in the Settings window.
3. Scroll down and click on the “Default apps” option.
4. Scroll down to the “Web browser” section and click on your current default browser (which is likely Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer).
5. Select Google Chrome from the list of available browsers.
6. Next, click on the “Choose default apps by protocol” option, which is located at the bottom of the Default apps window.
7. In the Choose default apps by protocol window, scroll down to the “HTTP” and “HTTPS” protocols and click on your current default browser.
8. Select Google Chrome from the list of available browsers.
9. Finally, click on the “Save” button to save your changes.
That’s it! Now when you click on a link in your Outlook emails, it should automatically open in Google Chrome.
It’s important to note that these steps may vary slightly depending on your version of Windows and the specific apps and browsers that you have installed. However, the general process should be similar regardless of your setup.
By following these simple steps, you can easily set Outlook to open links in Chrome and enjoy a smoother browsing experience overall.
