Using New Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
have 3 clients in different states with this same problem.
This browser is no longer supported.
Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
For several months now, when I click on links in emails from LinkedIn or Indeed, Outlook (new) opens two (2) tabs for the same link. Every time.
It does not do this if I switch back to the (Old) Outlook.
It does not do this if I open the same email/links in my Outlook 365 desktop application.
Since Microsofte embedded "safelinks" scanning, the Outlook (New) app has been a royal pain with links in emails, hiding links from view, and with this additional irritation, it seems that the development team have lost the plot.
My "Default" browser has no bearing on the result., it does it in Chrome or Firefox when set to default.
Switch to the old version of Outlook App, the issue goes away.
Forward an email to my priamary Outlook365 mailboxes... the issue is non existent...
By testing 3 versions of Outook with 3 web browsers, I only get the issue with the New Outlook App,... therefore I can only conclude that Microsoft have fudged this (New Outlook) version up even more.
*Note that for me it is only email links from LinkedIn and Indeed job alert emails and notifications, I have yet to find another platforms emails that are affected.
Are you getting any issues with these?
Lmk here if you find any other major platform emails too,
Ta!

We are experiencing the same issue. The number of our users reporting this error is increasing daily.
It occurs on all fresh Windows 11 installations, regardless of the browser or link used. The New Outlook desktop app seems to be causing the problem. The issue first appeared on October 7, 2024.
Same issue here. Windows 11 using Chrome Version 129.0.6668.101 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Having the same issue... Working on the Web Outlook. Also do not want to use Edge.
Thank you for your reply.
So, obviously, the answer for the fix is not to simply switch to Edge.
