    Hello sw11guy,

    thank you for providing this question.

    I am a seasoned Windows expert with almost a decade in usage and support experience and hope to resolve your problems quickly.

    Theres two quick options:

    Either Ctrl + Leftclick or rightclick then select "open link in new tab".

    If you consider your problem solved it would be very good if you marked the answer which helped you so others can find and use this thread.

    Hi,

    Thank you for your time and help.  Unfortunately, if I Ctrl + Leftclick, I don't get anything, and if I Ctrl + rightclick, "open in new tab" isn't one of the options I get.  So I'm still stuck I'm afraid

    Just rightclicking will open the context menu from where you can select to open the link in new tab, new windows or new private window.

    This does not work if you are clicking on a Javascript or another weblet which runs code inside a webpage but is not actually serving html context menus.

    Apologies, I just saw what you mean, when you actually click on the link, and that does indeed work.  Thank you!  But is there any way to make that the default setting when you click on a link, do you know?  That's how it used to be for me in old Edge

    A simple click will take the context specified in the link so if the website owner specified this link to be opened in a new tab it will regardless but if he/she didnt then it will open in the current window.

    As far as i know there is no way to change that.
