Links are disabled in Outlook for Windows email messages

There are several reasons your links might be disabled in your Outlook for Windows email messages (when sending or receiving email messages).

Select a tab option below for the version of Outlook you're using. What version of Outlook do I have?

In new Outlook, links should be enabled by default. However, if they are disabled, you can do the following:

  1. Go to Settings > Mail > Junk email.
  2. Under Security options, make sure that Block attachments, pictures, and links from anyone not in my Safe senders and domains list is unchecked.
  3. Select Save.
