Using New Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
The issue with two tabs seems to be fixed, but the whole day Outlook web freezes as hell so that I have to close the browser
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!

It appears to the problem has been fixed. I am now only getting a single tab open when clicking on a link in an (New) Outlook email.
Thank you. I've also seen this occur when using Outlook webapp. So, I'm not so sure if your solution will work in my case.
Cheers
Outlook (New)
What update? Windows? Outlook/Office365? Edge?
Thank you
