Excel hyperlink to google sheets not working

When I click on a hyperlink with gsheet url in excel, "Update your browser to use Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Sites, Slides, and Forms" page opens in browser each time. And when I manually copy paste the link in browser, it works.


Solution 1:

It is not caused by malware, it is likely a Windows update that causes Office and Google Docs not to communicate correctly.
