Thanks for the idea Dave, unfortunately that method didn't work either.
Interesting thing, came into work, booted up my laptop, the link I pasted yesterday worked...but only the first time I tried. Every time after that it would not work and trying to add new links would not work either.
BTW, I'm on Windows 10 Pro

I'll have to try this on my personal laptop - also Windows 10 Pro - at home. I didn't get a chance last night.
