Outlook: application not found (at link) - fix error
If Outlook reports that the application was not found when opening a link, the problem can be solved quickly. We'll show you exactly how troubleshooting works.
Application not found: Outlook does not open any links
The error usually occurs after installing Google Chrome or other Google software. A value is changed in the system, which means that Outlook can no longer find a browser to open the link.
- Press the [Windows] and [R] keys simultaneously so that the "Execute" command opens.
- Enter "regedit" here and confirm with "OK". Now the registry editor starts.
- Open the "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT" folder on the left and look for the ".htm" subfolder.
- Once you have selected the folder, open the "(Standard)" file on the right-hand side with a double click.
- The text "htmlfile" should appear as the "value". Then close the window with "OK".
- Repeat this process for the following additional folders. At the latest after a restart, Outlook should work as usual.
- Folder: .html, value: htmlfile
- Folder: mdbhtml, value: accesshtmlfile
- Folder: .mht, value: mhtmlfile
- Folder: .mhtml, value: mhtmlfile
- Folder: .shtm, value: htmlfile
- Folder: .shtml, value: htmlfile
