Windows 10: MS Ofice 2016 crash when inserting hyperlink

User @Zardoc posted warning about puting GodMode (access to all Control panel items) shortcut to specific folders, as it will make Office apps crash when inserting hyperlink.

I've confirmed this behavior, as have had exactly the same problem on one computer. Word crashed when trying to insert hyperlink to a file on the PC. In my case GodMode was created on desktop, but was crashing Word when trying to create hyperlink at totally different folder...

Discussion was going on in Insider announcement thread, but think it deserves its separate thread. And, if anybody doesn't know what Godmode is (all Control panel items)

Solution again.
If any of your Office applications crash, when trying to create hyperlink to local file, check if you have GodMode (all Control panel items) shortcut or folder. Delete it.

Hyperlinks don't work in windows 10 mail

I am using Mail that comes with Office Student 2016....

I am unable to access hyperlinks within emails I received. When I click on link I a blank page displays and then I receive a sad face icon and that is it.

To even answer your questions I had to do a copy and paste as nothing happened when I clicked on the 'reply' link.

with thanks

Hyperlinks don't work in windows 10 mail

Hi Robyn,

It is possible that this is a browser issue or registry problems. For us to properly isolate your issue, we'd like to ask some questions:

• Are you using the default mail app for Windows 10 or Outlook 2016?
• Are you having issues inserting or accessing the hyperlink?
• Did you encounter any error messages when working on the hyperlink?
  

In addition, if you're encountering the issue using the Outlook application, we have provided an article below for a resolution:

Hyperlinks are not working in Outlook

We're looking forward to your response.

 

Just confirming this is still an issue with Word 2016 version 1712, build 8827.2148

 

Hope you found this info on time. It took me weeks before finding what is preventing me to inserting hyperlinks...
With Microsoft moving more and more commands from Control panel to settings, It's easier to give up on God mode...

And welcome to Tenforums *Smile

 

I had no idea this was a problem. Granted, I have not had problems inserting hyperlinks into documents (yet?), but glad I saw this thread.

 

First search result on DuckDuckGo!

 

*Thumbs this is exactly why I started this thread... Tenforums are very high on every search engine *Smile

btw, it took me more than one reinstall of Office and worrying about why can't I insert hyperlink on my PC, while I can on every other...

 

*Thumbs that's exactly what I was thinking, when saw the original post *Wink

 

Never in a kazillion years would I have guessed this to be the cause. Thank you thank you thank you for this post!
