Hey
I just downloaded the new MacOs Sierra (version 10.12) for my Mac book pro. Since it has restarted, the "command N" function to open a new page does not work. Instead this "command N" function now opens a NEW TAB. So does "command T" which always opened a new tab. So now is there a new function to open a new window or has that been replaced with the new update?

It is not enabled, and dock is set to manually. I work a lot in folders and need to see multiple folders on my desktop as I move items around. I cannot get it to open the folders in a new window. Anybody have an answer for this?
Check your Finder preferences and see if "Open folders in tabs instead of new windows" is enabled.
It is.
I read how to open a new window in Sierra "Alt, Command, N" now. I'm assuming with the new update Apple changed the key commands for opening a new window in Safari.
I noticed the same thing after I installed Sierra, and it has been driving me crazy. I use safari full-screen most of the time and rely on [command-n] to open a new window full-screen for me. After much head-scratching and internet-searching and playing around, I've discovered this is a new "feature" rather than a bug. There are two scenarios:
When a safari window is open full-screen, opening a new full-screen window is now [command-option-n].
When a safari window is open but *not* full-screen, opening a new window is still [command-n].
If you open both types of windows, you can watch the shortcuts change in the "File" menu.
So, just found this answer after posting my response:
"Dock System Preferences. Set it to prefer tabs when opening Documents to Manually."
This actually changes the behavior back to what it was before.
That solved my problem
