Windows 10: Can I disable a hyperlink from automatically connecting to Edge?

Each time I select a hyperlink on a website status page, I am redirected to Edge rather than the browser which has been previously designated as preferred. To prevent this, I copy the hyperlink, post it to the preferred browser, and the status information site is opened.Is there a way I can disable Edge completely and enable my preferred browser for all hyperlinks? Thanks

Hyperlinks in PDF's not working in Edge

Hi,

I apologize for delayed response.

I suggest you to open the PDF files with Internet Explorer in Edge to view the hyperlinks and check if it helps.

Microsoft Edge has built-in Internet Explorer feature and thus changes made to the settings in Internet Explorer will reflect in Edge too. Follow below steps:

1. Open the PDF file with Edge and click on three dot icon (More Actions) on top right of the Edge browser.

2. Select the option 'Open with the Internet Explorer' from the drop down.

Please post back with the status of the issue and we will be glad to assist you further.

Thank you.
