Hello, for several months I have no longer been able to open the links of my Outlook email with opera which is my default browser.

Note that I tried with Firefox and Edge, it works well.

Thank you for your help

@Mitchdu14 As far as I know, Outlook forcefully open links on Edge.

Hello, Edge and Firefox open the links well, but Opera does not want to, I have the impression that my Windows security antivirus is the one blocking it.

Open up a command prompt, type:

start "test" "https://example.com/"

and press enter.

Then, try again with:

start "test" "http://example.com/"

If both of those open up in Opera (whether Opera is open or closed), then everything is good on Opera's end.

@burnout426 I tried both, they work well, the problem comes from elsewhere

@Mitchdu14 Did you try checking Outlook settings?

@leocg I have just deactivated the Windows security antivirus protection and miraculously the link opens with Opera

I finally succeeded, it was Windows security that was blocking me. I installed Defender UI.
Then I was able to add an exclusion (C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera) and now Opera opens the Outlook links. Thank you for your help
