I'm facing the same problem when I try to open a link from an email (GMAIL) in Windows 10 Pro 1909 (OS Build 18363.720).

Plzz Help.

I'm seeing the same error for Gmail only (links seem to work fine for all the other services I have Google Keep, Google Calendar, Trello, Whatsapp, Discord, LinkedIn and Hangouts).

Using macOS (Mojave 10.14.6 (18G4032)).

The only 'workaround' I've found is to right-click and choose 'Open Link in Browser'.

The workaround was fine, but I'm now seeing more and more emails where the "button" is an image and right-clicking it does not give me a URL, but the image URL.

Is there a better way to avoid this?
