In this guide, I will explain how to complete this configuration.<\/p>\n<p>The legacy version of Outlook (the one that comes bundled with the Office apps) has an unnecessary default configuration that uses <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/tag\/microsoft-edge\">Microsoft Edge<\/a> to open links and document attachments with the web versions of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. However, it&#8217;s possible to change the settings so that links open with your default web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Brave, etc.). Also, if you have the apps from Office 2021 or <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/microsoft-365-personal-vs-microsoft-365-family-features-pricing\/\">Microsoft 365<\/a>, you can change the settings so documents can open with the desktop applications.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to note that the <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/new-outlook-windows-11-generally-available\/\">new Outlook app for Windows 11<\/a> opens links directly into the default browser and doesn&#8217;t force them into Edge. However, you must configure your installation to make your <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/make-chrome-firefox-default-browser-windows-11\/\">preferred browser the default<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In this <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/tag\/how-to\">guide<\/a>, I will outline the steps to change Outlook&#8217;s link-open behavior on Windows 11.<\/p>\n<h2>Change Outlook settings to open links on default browser (not Edge)<\/h2>\n<p>To set Outlook to open links on the default browser, such as Chrome and Firefox, instead of Edge, use these steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p>Open <strong>Outlook<\/strong> app on Windows 11.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Click on <strong>File<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Click on <strong>Options<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Click on <strong>Advanced<\/strong> from the left navigation pane.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Under the &#8220;File and browser preferences&#8221; section, choose the <strong>&#8220;Default Browser&#8221;<\/strong> option for the &#8220;Open hyperlinks from Outlook in&#8221; setting.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full
