how do I disconnect Outlook and EDGE

To disconnect Outlook from Microsoft Edge, you can manage the settings related to how web links open from Outlook. By default, web links from Outlook open in Microsoft Edge, but you can change this behavior by configuring a policy or adjusting settings in Outlook itself.

1. Change Browser Settings in Outlook:
   • For the New Outlook for Windows: Go to Settings > General > Files and links > Open hyperlinks from Outlook in and select your preferred browser.
   • For Classic Outlook for Windows: Navigate to File > Options > Advanced > File and browser preferences and set your preferred browser.
2. Configure a Policy: If you are managing settings for an organization, you can configure the policy named "Choose Which Browser Opens Web Links" in the Microsoft 365 Apps admin center. This policy allows you to specify whether web links should open in Microsoft Edge or the system default browser.

By adjusting these settings, you can effectively disconnect Outlook from automatically using Microsoft Edge for opening web links.
