Links not opening browser

Right now if I click on a link that should lead to an opening browser it does
not work. For an example. Right now I have the following pop-up for my Media
Player that I am also trying to fix...

" Media sharing has been turned off because a required Windows setting or
component has changed. For additional assistance, click Web Help. "

However, when I click on web help nothing happens. Also if I am in Windows
Help & Support, and I click on a link that should take me to an outside
browser to say Microsoft's website. It also does not open... Anyone, please
help me on fixing this issue... Thank you much!!!

Re: Links not opening browser

Have you gone to Control Panel > Default Programs and set IE to all its
defaults?
