Internet links on Windows are malfunctioning.
Internet links on Windows are malfunctioning.
The issue seems to be with how the hyperlinks are displayed on your desktop. After reinstalling Windows, the links appear with a .url extension, which is unusual. When you double-click them, Chrome opens the browser normally and shows the source code instead of a normal link. The icon has changed to include the Chrome/Iron logo. Your concern is valid—Chrome doesn’t process the file in a way that shows the usual link preview. You might want to check if the desktop shortcuts are being generated correctly or if there’s a conflict with other applications. Let me know if you'd like further guidance!
