Unable to set up Arduino web editor in Windows 10

No worries.

If you don't want the forum software to work its magic on your link text, wrap it in angle brackets.

This markup:

has URL <https://create.arduino.cc/getting-started/plugin/download>, and won't scroll

renders like this:
has URL https://create.arduino.cc/getting-started/plugin/download, and won't scroll

The "onebox" link preview thing is occasionally cool, but I have never found value in the inline link text replacement the Discourse forum software does. I find myself doing the angle bracket wrapping trick more often than not nowdays.
