"Open in Integrated Browser" Does Not Work

[MikeMcCollister]

Type: Bug

I tried "Open in Integrated Browser" and it worked the first time. However, once I try it again I get a "Failed to Load Page" message.

I have disabled the Live Server and open in browser extensions to make sure that there is no conflict but that did not make a difference.

Hi @MikeMcCollister, could you share a screenshot or copy/paste the error details? Is the file not found?

[MikeMcCollister]

@kycutler, here is a screen shot.

@MikeMcCollister if you paste the exact same URL into Chrome or Edge, does it work over there? Just trying to rule out any file issues or restrictions

[MikeMcCollister]

@jruales I pasted the following into Edge and it works fine:

file:///c%3A/Users/Mike/OneDrive/Documents/Web%20Sites/MikeMcCollister.com/public_html/test/index.htm

Also, if I paste the following it works as well:

file:///c:/Users/Mike/OneDrive/Documents/Web%20Sites/MikeMcCollister.com/public_html/test/index.htm

I also get the same results on another Windows computer and a macOS computer.
