If you want to open Edge without actually wanting to open it, just accidentally click on one of the advertisements in the main menu or any info area widget. Those ignore the default browser and always open Edge.

    My new work computer on both teams and outlook just open edge with any links too ignoring my default browser preference. My last one obeyed like a good computer.

    You can change this in settings.

    There are links that use a specific "edge" link type that you can't assign to other browsers without admin access. So if it's a work computer you're kinda boned

    You can definitely change Teams to use the default browser and not edge without admin access.

    I’m pretty sure you can do the same with Outlook. Other links such as the start search menu sure you can’t change them.
