Since I upgraded to ventura I have an issue with opening an new window. Eg when on safari I choice opening a new window I got opening a new tab. For other apps like terminal, pages etc the behavior is simular.

I can drag the tab outside the window to get 2 safari windows. But this is stupid because double work.

I guess there is a new setting somewhere hidden to set this. I searched for a few months but didn't find something.

Does anybody have a good tip how to restore the correct working? Saying that when I want to open a window a window opens.

Typically Command N opens a new window

Command T opens a Tab

You can try a SafeBoot How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support will sort many anomalies

Login and test, reboot as normal and test

Can you verify your software is up to date…

The current stable release of Ventura including bug fixes, security updates is macOS Ventura 13.1

FWIW, New Window works for me in all apps whether chosen from the File Menu or using the keyboard shortcut.
