Hey,
I have a problem with opening hyperlinks in Excel. When I click on the link Excel freezes and it takes a while until it is responsive again. Right in that moment, the link is opened in my browser. I'm using Win 10 Pro, Office 2013 Pro. Opening links takes exactly 1 minute (which suggests to me that this is some kind of timeout).
I'm using Firefox as my default browser, but changing it to Edge or IE does not make a difference. Also, I saw the suggestion in another thread to take a look at the following article: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/310049/hyperlinks-are-not-working-in-outlook
Thsi support article does not help unfortunately, since the Easy fix does not work for Win10.
(I'm also runnning the latest Win 10 version in a home environment, everything freshly installed)
Any other suggestions?
