Workaround solution

As an alternative, you can use another branded browser like Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome. However, if you wish to continue using Microsoft Edge, as your primary browser, a workaround is to turn this setting off within Edge settings and to turn off ‘Open Office Files in browser’.

Instructions

  1. Open Microsoft Edge settings (usually 3 dots top right of Edge)
  2. Select Downloads
  3. set Open Office files in the Browser to Off
