Windows 10: I am unable to connect to any link in my email or viewing a web page.

I am unable to connect to any link in my emails or web pages when running windows 10 or edge. When i try, all I get is a script like box and I cannot go any further. Please advise me on what to do. This does not happen when I use the Google or Firefox browser.

Email links on Web pages


Hi Group
When trying to use email links on web pages, The links dont open. I can see the email address in the status bar and it is correct. I dont get the choice of which program on my system to open a new message with. There must be a place on my system where I can set that association.
Appreciate your help.
Bob

 

Windows 10 EMAIL APP when I clik on a email LINK in a web site/page,


"unlike Win 7, it does not open my browser, open my YAHOO email link, then PASTE the email address in that link in the COMPOSE box. ONE STEP, IT DOES ALL THE WORK."

What email client were you using in 7, Live Mail, Outlook or other ? On Windows 10 Mail app, the address link will open in your preferred email client. On mine, it opens in Thunderbird. Start with Settings/Apps/Default apps to see that the base settings are correct. If so, then dig deeper by following dalchina's settings advice.
But If you want to do this entirely on your browser, why not just read and write your yahoo! email on your web browser ? IE: Open browser, open yahoo! mail, click address or web links in message to compose, DONE. Or are you saying clicking an address link on a web page doesn't open yahoo! mail ? If that's the case, it's your browser settings.

 

Email links on Web pages


I should have been more clear. I use windows 10, but I run windows 7 in a Virtual machine.
I was able to go into control panel and set an association between Chrome and Outlook. Now what happens is that clicking on an email link on a web page opens a new tab with with the "mail to" info in the address bar of the new tab, not in an email program. I have a laptop on which this process works as it should: the first time I click on an email link, asks me which program on my system I would like to use, and then works as it should.
