Slack is a proprietary, cloud-based instant messaging platform. You can chat, send files, share images and insert hyperlinks with other users.
It is useful because it can be used both for personal use and for the working environment, and the modern user interface makes it very pleasant. However, some users have reported problems with Slack because it does not open links sent by the chat.
How to Fix Links not Opening on Slack
Check your Internet connection
A stable Internet connection is a prerequisite for troubleshooting. Be sure to use an active connection that is not public (available in hospitals and offices). Try opening Slack on other devices and try to access the Internet.

For the browser cache
Clearing the browser cache is important both to open links and to use the Web Slack application in general, so it is important that you know how to clear your default browser cache.
Reinstall Slack
As a last resort, we can try to reinstall Slack if it still does not work properly and does not open the links in the browser. We have encountered problems in the Windows operating system where the installation of Slack was damaged after installing Windows updates or moving installation files to or from another drive. Here, in this solution, we navigate to the Application Manager and uninstall Slack. Then you can browse the official site and install the latest version from there.
- Press Windows + R, type “appwiz.cpl” in the dialog box and press Enter.
- Search for Slack in the application manager. Right-click and select Uninstall.
- Restart your computer completely after uninstalling the application. Browse the official Slack website and download the latest version.
- Right-click on the executable file and select Run as administrator. Check that the problem is solved.
