I recently lost ability to tap on certain links on certain incoming Hotmail Emails.

I had lost some settings on format displayed and attempted to reset settings . What could I have changed that would affect opening links.

If I had a teenager , they could probably reset in a minute.

IMO You stuck in the hotmail/outlook rabbit hole, there is NO hot mail quicker you change to outlook the better off you’re be. Even though you may still receive Fathom Hotmail it should go into the Outlook box. Now if you don’t or didn’t change to outlook Hotmail has nowhere to be dumped?

I don't use hotmail but it sounds like the system is trying to protect you by blocking internet content.

You can search google for something like "links in hotmail emails not working"

You can look in the settings for a privacy or security setting to block internet content.

Hotmail been retired, but not retired, all goes to outlook.

No, Microsoft has not discontinued old Hotmail email addresses, but they did retire the Hotmail brand and website.
If you have an existing @hotmail.com email address, it is still completely active, and you can continue to send and receive messages normally.
Here is what actually happened and what you need to know to access your email:

🔄 The Transition to Outlook.com

• The Rebrand: Microsoft officially retired the "Hotmail" name and interface back in 2013, moving the entire service over to Outlook.com.
• How to Log In: To access your old emails, simply head to the Microsoft Outlook Sign-In Page. Log in using your original, full Hotmail email address and your password. Your inbox, folders, and contacts are all still there.
• Creating New Accounts: You generally cannot sign up for a new @hotmail.com address anymore; Microsoft defaults new accounts to the @outlook.com domainO

Nice information but has little to do with the OP's question.

He *is* getting his hotmail email. Whatever tool he is using is apparently deactivating/blocking links. The system likely has a setting to change this behavior.

Whether he is using a tool called Outlook, AppleMail, Gmail, or Firebird to read it, he is receiving his hotmail email and the tool is blocking the links. *That* is what he needs help with.

I obviously have been using hotmail for years. Have not had any problem until now. Does anyone know some source to go to get what must be a simple (For them) setup issue.

I am the OP and I Just received a notice from a credit card company regarding my current month activity. It has a link to access the account which when tapped is supposed to go to the account. I see computer messages low on the screen but usually it would go to the account.

I sent the same Email to my wife's yahoo account ad all works well. I can look at current month , past activity etc. Link works.

Thus it is not protection but some setting on the hotmail setup that I must have screwed up.
