    Internet Explorer opens "click here to view in a web browser" in Outlook email even though...


    I have set Chrome as my default web browser in Windows 10 Home > Settings > Apps > Default apps.


    If I click a link in an email in Outlook it opens in Chrome.


    However, today I received an email from Capital One Shopping and the link in the body of the email did not work so I clicked on "If there are problems with how this message is displayed, click here to view it in a web browser" and the web page opened in Internet Explorer.


    I did a web search for this but all the results said to use the Default apps setting in Windows. As I have said above, I already have Chrome set as the default web browser there so apparently the "If there are problems with how this message is displayed, click here to view it in a web browser" link uses a different setting because it is opening in Internet Explorer instead of Chrome.


    I hope someone can help me fix this as it is annoying.


    Thanks,

    Don

    I cant open mi web page in internet and my emails in outlook

    Hi Cristian,

    Thank you for being part of Microsoft Community.

    • Which browser do you use to access websites?
    • Do you get any error message when you cannot open the websites?

    I suggest you to check the status of the issue on different web browsers. In case you face the issue on Internet Explorer, you may add the website to Compatibility view settings and check if it helps.
    To add the website to compatibility view follow the steps below.

    Steps:-


        • Open Internet Explorer and go to the website.

        • Press Alt + X keys and select
          Compatibility view settings
          .

        • Click on Add and Close.

    Hope this information is helpful. Please get back to us with the information required, if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you.

    Microsoft Internet Explorer renamed to Windows Internet Explorer ?

    Since version 7 of the world`s most popular web browser - Microsoft Internet Explorer was silently renamed to Windows Internet Explorer.Such a step from Microsoft is not a surprise since Internet Explorer is part of the Windows operation system for a long time.Obviously Microsoft corp. wants to state that Internet Explorer is already considered as a part of Windows and not as an external browser (remember the IE and WMP law issues last year!?).
