My visual studio version is Enterprise 2019 Version 16.11.2. Previously, it was possible to navigate to the corresponding Microsoft document via F1, but now some do and some don't. Like word public, if in C# do, but when mouse in WPF UserControl then pressing F1, it open the link https://www.google.com/search?q=System.Windows.Controls.UserControl. Previously available when turned on like https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us.........
How can I use F1 to navigate to its corresponding Microsoft document in visual studio？

    Hi, @DaisyTian-1203

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

    I select UserControl in the WPF project, press F1, and the browser navigates to the relevant document.
    Please click Tools->Options->Environment->Web Browser->Internet Explorer Options to check whether the URLs of Home Page and Search Page have been modified.

    You can try to open the help page with other browsers to detect whether the issue exists.

    Sincerely,
