I use Edge as my browser and Windows links to it nicely.
I have 2 profiles in Edge, my private and my work profile.
I do all my browsing in my private profile, even if my Windows User and MS Office account is my work account. On occasion I use my work profile on Edge to work in MS Office web versions.
Normally, any link I clicked on or opened from Outlook would simply link to Edge with my private profile. Recently this behavior changed. When I click on a link in a Word document or somewhere else, it opens in Edge in my private profile (just the way I want it to). But when I click on a link in Outlook, or on a link in the Weather & News taskbar, it will open Edge with my work profile. I would like that to also open in my private profile on Edge. How can I do that?
Thanks!

Thank you! That did the trick.

I had to set it to private. Last used does not work for me. It does not use the last profile. But forcing it to private profile works for me.
