Web links in other apps take forever to open in browser

Hi,

The issue your experiencing about the hyperlink can happen to one or more of the following reasons:

• The setting where you choose what web browser that you want to use is corrupted. This can cause Windows to misinterpret which browser is set as the default browser on your computer.
• After the software was installed, settings were changed, which can cause links to webpages to work incorrectly.
• A previously installed browser or add-in might be interfering with other software on your computer.
• Registry keys were changed or became corrupted.

You can set Internet Explore or Microsoft Edge as your default browser for opening weblinks in your app and check if the issue will still occur.

We suggest to clear cache and cookies from the Microsoft Edge browser. See steps below:

• Open Microsoft Edge, click on More Action at the right top corner.
• Click on Settings, click on Choose what to clear under Clear browsing data.
• Select the Browsing history, caches and cookies and hit Clear.
• Close the browser and try to open it again.

Let us know if you have any other questions.

Opening telephone number links in the edge browser.

When I open telephone links on the edge browser, expecting the number to be passed to the phone and commence dialling the number. However on my Lumia 640 with win 10 installed. The link offers to open my Skype preview app only leading me to make a Skype
call.

The alternative is to write down the phone number on the link, then open the phone app and dial the number.

Is there a way to allow links to be opened directly in the phone app?
