The VBA code below has been working fine no issues and today it stopped working I have tried everything can cannot get it to work.

Basically I select a range of hyperlinks and it then goes to Chrome and opens a tab

VBA Code:
Sub OpenHyperLinks()
'Update 20141124
    Dim xHyperlink As Hyperlink
    Dim WorkRng As Range
    On Error Resume Next
    xTitleId = "KutoolsforExcel"
    Set WorkRng = Application.Selection
    Set WorkRng = Application.InputBox("Range", xTitleId, WorkRng.Address, Type:=8)
    For Each xHyperlink In WorkRng.Hyperlinks
        xHyperlink.Follow
    Next
End Sub

Just to add If I clink on a single Hyperlink it opens the Youtube as expected but when using the above VBA code it display the box with the range and when ok clicked it does nothing.

Thank you in advance for any help

Firstly thank you for providing some valid Test Data, it makes a huge difference in us being able to help you.

A solution to this was posted by @lrobbo314 in March 2020 here and which I have used to modify your code below:
HYPERLINK() function not working with VBA .Follow
Although the OP in that case seemed to still have some issues with it, it works fine on your data.

Your revised code looks like the below:
VBA was not recognising the formula generated hyperlinks as a hyperlinks and Selection.Hyperlinks.count returned 0.

VBA Code:
Sub OpenHyperLinks_Mod()
'Update 20141124
    Dim xHyperlink As Hyperlink     ' Not required
    Dim WorkRng As Range
    Dim xTitleId As String
    On Error Resume Next
    xTitleId = "KutoolsforExcel"
    Set WorkRng = Application.Selection
    Set WorkRng = Application.InputBox("Range", xTitleId, WorkRng.Address, Type:=8)
    
    ' Courtesy of lrobbo314 13/03/2020
    Dim rCell As Range
    For Each rCell In WorkRng.Cells
        ActiveWorkbook.FollowHyperlink rCell.Value
    Next
End Sub
