Broken URL link becomes backlink

I got a new computer and through sync, moved my vault to it. The problem is that any URL link has become a backlink, or new note. When I open Obsidian on my old computer these URL links work just fine, but on my new computer they dont. When I recreate the links on new-pc they are html.

I’m just looking to understand this, or quick fix, rather than having to recreate a bunch of links.

Similarities:
both computers use windows 11 and have same default browser.

Differences:
new computer has vault located in User folder, instead of just Local C:
