Hello Lorenzo R,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

Regarding your problem, to resolve the issue that a new window opens instead of a new tab in Internet Explorer, you can try the following steps:

Open a Command Prompt with administrator privileges.

Depending on your Windows architecture, run the appropriate commands:

• For 64-bit versions of Windows:

    %SystemRoot%\System32\regsvr32 '%programfiles%\Internet Explorer\ieproxy.dll'
  

    %SystemRoot%\Syswow64\regsvr32 '%programfiles(x86)%\Internet Explorer\ieproxy.dll'
  

    %SystemRoot%\System32\regsvr32 /i /n ieframe.dll
  

    %SystemRoot%\Syswow64\regsvr32 /i /n ieframe.dll
  

• For 32-bit versions of Windows:

    regsvr32 '%programfiles%\Internet Explorer\ieproxy.dll'
  

    regsvr32 /i /n 'ieframe.dll'
  

After running each regsvr32 command, you should receive a message indicating successful registration. If you receive a message indicating a different status, it is recommended to contact Microsoft Product Support for further assistance.

Important: Please note that creating a system restore point or system state backup before making any registry modifications is recommended.
