Windows 10: Office 2016 Preview—update 2 now available

Thanks, Dude! Much appreciated.

 

Thanks, Simrick. It looks like the issue is gone in Office 2016 and possibly in 2013.

 

it's on 1023 now *Smile

 

Haven't had Office Outlook since W7 Office 2000, which I used a lot when in business. Haven't used it since 8 RTM and started using the MS WinRT Store app. Still do in 8.1 and 10. Out of curiosity and for you I decided to set up Outlook 2016 here in 10 build 10532.

I use Edge, but set IE as default and links do indeed open up for me. I closed IE out after each try to be sure. It didn't skip a beat.

BTW, Outlook sure got advanced with features!

 

Thanks Hippsie. I appreciate your taking time for this test.

Yes, there's a lot to like about Outlook today. My first experience with it way, way back when, it hated me and wouldn't do anything I wanted it to do. And now I don't want to use anything else. That's a switch, eh? *Smile

 

You're quite welcome. Curiosity got the best of me too. I see you commented that the latest updates solved your problem. Strangely I've got the previous version 16.0.4229.1021 and won't update as of yet. Probably a queue thing.

I see Outlook has come a long way. Much more sophisticated. Of course I was using 2000. Used it heavily for 13 years or so. Got into Windows Mail, now the Store app. We have the best of both worlds now. Win32 or WinRT. Take a pick. *Smile

 

I've never had the problem. I just figured it should be taken care of since we've had humpty gazillion updates to Office so far.

I noticed your screenie said Office 2013. Was that on another computer than the one that hasn't updated from 4229.1021? IOW, if you are running 4229.1021, you shouldn't be seeing that "2013".

I go with what I'm used to. *Smile Right now, I'm subscribed to O365 Pro Plus 2016 Technical Preview.

 

Shot in the dark, but what the hey . . .

For those having the problem with IE 11 not working properly with Outlook links, try this:

Press and hold down Ctrl and then click on the link in Outlook.

 

Ok. I see. Might be a dll hell thing going on?

I dual boot 8.1 Pro and 10 Insider Preview build 10532 with Office 2016 Preview full. As stated in that post I was in 8.1 and have Office 2013 Pro installed there.

Yes, go with what you like. I just happen to like WinRT. Although 10 has a lot of great new features and is desktop oriented I still hold that 8.1 is much better at navigating. If I could have the new MS Store apps, the Settings app, better multi monitor management, and Store in 8.1 that 10 has to name a few it would be the best OS to me. Can't use Tablet mode with dual or multi monitors to get as close to the Start screen and they omitted Charms bar in 10. I'll keep my 8.1 and participate as an Insider for a while to see how it goes.

 

UPDATE: Office 2016, rollout begins September 22nd 2015
