Solution!

Solution-1: This can happen if you are using default windows settings and your default browser for internet is selected as IE. Apparently I had set the security settings higher around the time that the issue started occurring. Turning down the security works well.

Solution-2: Go to Windows Settings –> Apps & features –> Default apps –> Web Browser. Change the browser from Internet explorer to Firefox or any other browser. This resolved my problem. hopefully it will solve your problem as well.
