Links won't open in web browser

Sometimes when I double-click on an internet shortcut, it will not open in an already-opened web browser.
But if I close the browser and then try the shortcut again, it works.
The same is true for hyperlinks in an Excel spreadsheet.
Sometimes a link does not work. But if I close the browser then the link works.
All of that is sometimes ... because at other times there's no problem.
Is there a fix for this?

If your using Windows 10. Go to Settings/Apps/Default Apps and make sure the default Web browser says Google Chrome. Now click on the link right below it that says "Choose default apps by file type". Scroll down to .URL and make sure the app out to the side says "Internet Browser" and not Google Chrome. This will make sure that whatever URL link you click on goes to your default browser.

I made those settings long ago. The settings are correct.
As stated in my original post, the problem is intermittent.
It works fine ... and then sometimes it doesn't.

Most likely problems with opening hyperlinks are connected with either the security restrictions of your Internet browser that doesn't allow opening pop-up windows, or with your Flash player plug-in that prevents you from opening URLs in local Flash files.

First of all, make sure that the hyperlink has been created correctly: put your mouse cursor over a hyperlink and see if it changes to a hand. If it does, please do the following:

Open Adobe Flash Player Settings.
Click Always Allow and hit Add location as shown on the screenshot below:

A trusted location here is a file or a folder that uses milder security settings and thus allows navigating between the hyperlinks in it.
Then simply browse for the Flash presentation with broken hyperlinks or for the folder where it is stored:
Play your Flash interaction and enjoy navigating between the hyperlinks!

Note: the instructions above are only applicable when your Flash interaction is stored on your local computer. After being uploaded to the Internet, hyperlinks will work regardless of the security restrictions on both your browser and the Flash player plug-in.

If you still have any questions, please ask them in our Community Forum.
