Can't open applications from Mac mail

Whenever I click on a link in an email, I get "The application can't be opened. -10673"

I tried shutting down and restarting, still getting the same dialog box.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.1

old issue, new issue, what changed?


Is this an isolated issue or universal for all links(?)\


—Have you quit all applications rebooted the machine and try again


—What happens if you copy & paste the link in your browser directly


—copy & paste the link in an alternate browser, (non-default) and compare your results



Change the default web browser or email app on your Mac

Quit apps on Mac

Log out, sleep, wake, restart, or shut down your Mac



If no insight or resolve can you post the link here for a look see.

A very sudden issue for me, apparently an old issue of others.


Cutting and pasting would not have resolved the problem, given that I had no problem with Safari or Chrome. I also tried restarting the laptop, as recommended in other posts, but that didn't work either.


But half an hour later, everything was fine!


Obviously, another case of cybergremlins at work.
