Hello


I'm using Windows 10 virtual desktops and have Internet Explorer and Outlook open in two different desktops.


When I open a link in outlook (for example www.microsoft.com) the already existing internet explorer window in the other virtual desktop is not reused. A new window for internet explorer will be created on the virtual desktop where outlook is located, this windows is then reused if more links are opened (and as long as the window stays in the outlook virtual dekstop and is not moved to another).


I have tested opening links from the File Browser, and links are opened in the already existing internet explorer window in a different virtual desktop, so you could say that Outlook is misbehaving. I have also tried with Edge, same behavior.


I would like the already existing internet explorer window to be reused when I open links from Outlook. Is this possible to accomplish?


I'm in an enterprise environment, updating to new versions of software is not that easy, sorry.


Software:
Windows 10 Enterprise, version 1703, OS Build 15063.1868
Internet Explorer 11 (version 11.1868.15063.0, "update versions" 11.0.130)
Outlook 2016 MSO 16.0.4849.1000 32bit (Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2016)


Thanks for your help.
