Latest update of Monterey and hyperlinks in mail won't open

I have just updated to Monterey 12.4 and no can not open any links in any email in the Apple Mail programme. I have looked at old threads for same problem and nothing has resolved the issue. Everything on my Mac is up to date and I have restarted computer >1 and cleared cache etc nothing is working. Has anyone got a solution?

Thanks
