Click on the Settings app once it appears in the search result. Select Apps > Default apps. Scroll down and look for Choose default apps by file type. Look for .mht or .mhtml file type and set Chrome. Once done, try if you’ll be able to open the email or view it using the browser that you’ve set. If you continue to have this issue even after performing the above steps, please reply to this thread. The system will notify me so I can get back to you and provide you with more answers.

Hi Louie Thanks for the response. I followed your suggested process and all was good until the last step. At that point, CHROME wasn't offered as a choice. Only options are IE and MS Store, which is weird since chrome is the default browser. Any thoughts about how to get CHROME to appear as an option? I did some research on similar issues and the only solution I found was "unintsall and reinstall CHROME." Thanks for your help. I appreciate you for updating me with the status of your concern. I’ve found a related thread with responses that were marked as the answers. I’ve learned that the file type being used when using the View in browser option in Outlook is .mhtm or .mhtml.

I have my default browser set to Chrome. However, in Outlook 2016 under Windows 10, when I choose to "View in browser" it launches a seemingly crippled version of IE. Every answer to this question I've found says that Outlook will view an HTML message in the default browser, but this isn't happening for me. This happened with a previous install of Windows 10, as well as the reinstall I just did. Thanks. Hi, Based on the information that you provided, we suggest that you check out this thread and look for the post of MarilynLitt dated January 15, 2016. Try to follow her fix regarding the issue. Let us know how it goes. Doesn't this thread have to do with saving a message, and not with the issue of what browser is launched from Outlook? In any case, I replied in another message about what's going on: A bit of strangeness that had me confused. When a message has the notice “If there are problems with how this message is displayed, click here to view it in a web browser” in the header part of the message, above the body, then it launches in IE. But if the message has a “view this message in a browser” in the *body* of the message, then it launches Chrome. Just to verify, what troubleshooting steps have you done so far in regarding your concern? Hope to hear from you soon. I followed the steps in the thread you linked to in your first message, and it made no difference. This seems to be a simple anomaly: as I said in my follow-up message, the problem is with the "View this message in a browser" in the header part of the message, which launches IE and not default Chrome, and not with links in the body of the message itself, which do launch Chrome. On the rare times when my only option is to use the header version that launches IE, I simply copy the address out of ID and paste it into Chrome. Thanks. I have my default browser set to Chrome. However, in Outlook 2016 under Windows 10, when I choose to "View in browser" it launches a seemingly crippled version of IE. Every answer to this question

Easy: enable the option in Edge to “Allow sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode”. It’s in Edge Settings, under Default browser section. If you aren’t using Edge as your default browser, you DO NOT need to change your default browser to Edge, only enable the option to allow sites to load in IE mode. Outlook will use Edge to view the MHT file. To enable Internet Explorer mode, open Edge’s Settings and select Default Browser on the left. Under “Allow sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode”, set it to Allow. Once you make this change, choosing “view it in a web browser” in Outlook will open the message in Edge. If the page does not load the first time you use View in Browser, click View in Browser a second time. It should work after that, until you restart Edge. If Internet Explorer is installed on your Windows 10 computer and the View in Browser command opens Internet Explorer, change the default program for MHT files to Edge in Default programs. How to enable Edge browser to view messages using Outlook's View in Browser command.

A few days ago, a popup appeared in Outlook asking me to change my default browser to Edge. I was in a rush so clicked the popup, thus setting the default browser, thinking I could fix it back to Chrome later. Since then, everywhere I look online says to go to Windows Settings > Apps > Default apps > Chrome > Set default, to change the Outlook default browser back to Chrome. This method hasn't worked. I've followed these steps, restarted Outlook, restarted my computer, and the links still open in Edge. How do I change this default? Dear Melanie Leon1, Good day!
