Could you please let me know if there have been any updates on this issue and what the current status is ?

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
URL will open in system assigned browser
ACTUAL -
Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: Failed to open https://www.google.com. Error message: CoInitializeEx() failed.

Comments
Per description of the bug which refers to JDK-8270269 and per Praveen's comment, it's a duplicate of JDK-8270269. A simple test case is hard to provide because it requires a native library which calls CoInitializeEx(NULL, COINIT_MULTITHREADED) and then calls Desktop API.
