Driver.getWindowHandles() is always returning 1 in IE11 on Windows 10

Question

I know this question is duplicate with below question.

Driver.getWindowHandles() is always returning 1 in IE11 on Windows 10, although there are two windows open

Selenium - getWindowHandles() is returning value 1 irrespective of number of browser opened

But I research and try any solution but cannot resolve problem. I also try setting follow guideline https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/wiki/InternetExplorerDriver#required-configuration but it is not working.

This is my code for testing

WebDriver oldDriver = new InternetExplorerDriver(InternetExplorerDriverService.createDefaultService(), createIEOption(Server.OLD));
                WebDriver newDriver = new InternetExplorerDriver(InternetExplorerDriverService.createDefaultService(), createIEOption(Server.NEW));
                //waiting page load
                TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(5);
    

            while(true) {
//for test
                TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(1);
                System.out.println("OLD: " + oldDriver.getWindowHandles().size());
                System.out.println("NEW: " + newDriver.getWindowHandles().size());
            }

I open many tab but result getWindowHandles() always return 1.

Answer 1

The IE driver cannot connect to and control “manually” opened new tabs (i.e., those opened via Ctrl+t). There is no workaround. Do not attempt to use tabs with the IE driver.

Refer Selenium IE driver returns tab count as 1 while using getWindowHandles method on multiple tabs of same window
