Windows 10: Outlook 2010 having issues with instant search and opening hyperlinks

To start off with, when I initially upgraded to W10 everything in Outlook worked perfectly fine. I could both open hyperlinks to Firefox (my default) and get instant search results as I typed. However, about 3 days ago I went to search and I got the notification: "Instant Search is not available when you have administrator permissions. please log out and login without administrator permissions." I had previously updated to insider build 10525 with no issues for several days prior to the notification, so this problem was out of left field with nothing changed to prompt the issue (as far as I can tell).

Through trial and error I discovered that opening Outlook from a shortcut anywhere other than the start menu would open it as an administrator even if that was unchecked in the compatibility tab of the properties menu. Only by opening it directly from the .exe in the explorer or from the start menu would it open not as an administrator. Doing this brought back the instant search functionality. However, running explicitly not as the administrator caused hyperlinks to stop working. I must right-click and "run as administrator" for that functionality.

Basically, if I run Outlook as an administrator I can open hyperlinks to my web browser, but the instant search is non-functional. If I make sure to not run as administrator, the instant search works perfectly but hyperlinks are broken again.

How to change the function of the Easy Fix from KB3094186

The scenario:

We have started rolling out Windows 10 Enterprise to users. There is a business need for IE 11 to be the default browser. There is a business need for us to still be using OUtlook 2010.

We have provided users with the Easy Fix from KB3094186 to allow IE 11 to open hyperlinks from Outlook 2010.

The issue:

We've already run into the known issue where IE will truncate URLs from the hyperlink in Outlook because the Easy Fix opens a new tab in IE 11. We are aware that the Registry can be changed to open a new IE 11 window
instead of a tab which maintains the integrity of the hyperlink in Outlook.

The question:

How can the Easy Fix .diagcab file be modified to so that the registry entry created opens a new IE window instead of a tab? We need an automated way (other than scripting) for this to be done for all Windows 10 users
without us having to go to hundreds of machines and manually chane the Registry.
