Describe the bug
Whenever I click on a Hyperlink while using QuickLook it gives me a "Sorry, navigation not allowed" popup.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to 'Check for updates via right click on taskbar icon in the system tray'
  2. Click on 'any blue Hyperlink in the .md changelog file that QL displays'
  3. See above answer
  4. See error "Sorry, navigation not allowed"

Expected behavior
I would expect QL to open my default web browser and navigate to the selected hyperlink. Which would be the official QL github page.
Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS Version:
    Edition: Windows 11 Pro
    Version: 25H2
    Installed on: ‎2/‎22/‎2026
    OS build: 26200.8328
    Experience: Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.304.0

  • QuickLook Version: [4.4.0 QL-Win I honestly can't remember if it's the msi version or windows store but I'm almost positive it's the msi version because QL never auto updates and I always come to the github page to download the latest version. While I haven't installed 4.5.0 yet I can say that this has been an issue for me for multiple versions now and I can't honestly remember the last time it opened a hyperlink. So it's been a while. Sorry for the vague timeline.

Screenshots and Exception Log
If applicable, add screenshots and logs to help explain your problem. The log file is located in one of several locations.

UPDATE: After navigating to the above link regarding where my log files are saved I can confirm that my QL is the MSI version.
