URL Pasted into Sharepoint excel adds incorrect encoding.

Copying and pasting an url from Azure DevOps that contains spaces will add "%2520" instead of only "%20".

Example:

https://www.abc.com/web site/abc will create a link for "https://www.abc.com/web%2520site/abc" which will fail to open.

Multiple browsers, clean cache, all same effect.

Hi @MerakMarey-4450,

1.You could try to change this registry key:

 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\ExperimentEcs\all\Overrides]
    
 "ofwmomv34be2660"="false"  

For Reference: Recent (Sharepoint) Files which was opened local gets corrupted URL where %20 is replaced to %2520

2.You could try to remove or change the following key to "0" via GPO:

 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\Roaming]

 "RoamingSettingsDisabled"=Dword:0x00000001

For Reference: SharePoint Workflow URL Encoding %2520
