PowerPoint hyperlink expires? Try these solutions!
Your PowerPoint presentation has been set up and contains all references. Each link should bring the viewer (or you) to a resource to prove the authenticity of what you say. However, you find that the hyperlinks in PowerPoint cannot work, and you don’t know what to do? Don't worry, the following repair methods can help you.
Method 1: Select the correct view
In the PowerPoint edit view, your hyperlinks may look like clickable links, but in reality they are not. You can't click on them in this view. You need to check your link in "Slide Show Mode" or "Demo View", so your link may actually be working, just that you are checking for the link wrong.
For "Slide Show Mode", follow these steps:
Step 1: Click the Slide Show tab at the top of the screen and select Start from Scratch.
Step 2: Click the hyperlink in the corresponding slide to see if it is valid.
For "Demo View", the steps are very similar.
Step 1: Select "Slide Show" in the ribbon and make sure the check box next to "Use Presenter View" is selected.
Step 2: Press "Alt F5" on the keyboard, open "Demo View", and click the hyperlink to check if it is valid.
Method 2: Update PowerPoint
Even if Microsoft's updates affect how older versions of its apps run, Microsoft is still keen on updating. This may be your problem when you find that the hyperlink in PowerPoint is not working - you missed an update that is creating a compatibility issue that you need to fix.
Step 1: Open PowerPoint, and then click File, and then click Account.
Step 2: Click the "Update Options" icon and you can find it in "Product Information" on the right side of the screen.
Step 3: Select "Update Now" from the drop-down box that appears. PowerPoint will check for updates (you should see a check progress bar on the screen), and if an update is found, the update will be installed. After receiving notification that PowerPoint has been updated, return to your presentation and try your hyperlink again.
Method 3: Check your hyperlink address
Sometimes, hyperlinks in PowerPoint do not work simply because you inserted the wrong or broken URL when creating the hyperlink. Fixing this problem is simple.
Step 1: Navigate to the slide that contains the hyperlink in question, right-click, and select Edit Link from the menu.
Step 2: Check the link in the "Address" text box. If it is correct, there is no need to worry. If it is incorrect, change the link to the correct address and click the OK button. Then, try the link in the presentation again.
Method 4: Check whether your file still exists
You don't always need to link to the website. You may have a file (such as PDF or other documents) linked to PowerPoint.
Is this file still exist? If you have deleted it or moved it to a different folder, this may be the reason why the hyperlinks in your PowerPoint presentation are not working. Change the link to make it correct (see Method III) or restore the file to its original location.

The activation method of Windows 11 depends on the system source and is divided into two types: automatic activation of digital licenses and manual input of product keys. 1. If you purchase a computer using a genuine channel or bind a digital license, connect to the network and log in to a Microsoft account, the system will automatically activate. You can check the status in "Settings → System → About → Activation"; 2. If you use a retail version or OEM key, you need to enter the activation page and manually enter the key, and the key must match the system version; 3.

You can contact Microsoft customer service.
