Welcome.

Try first a Power Off & Restart. If no go, we can progress from there.

Tried that as well , didn't work

Also tried going to default apps and tried changing a bunch of defaults and how links open. Nothing worked unfortunately

Might need factory reset

I guess that's the last resort . I'll wait in hope till the weekend that someone else has faced and resolved this . Otherwise reset it is

Does it also happen in Safe Mode? (You'll only be able to test it with preinstalled apps.)
