To complement @Reza answer I was having this exact problem in VB.Net but all the answers were for C# so im going to post it in here if anyone else needs it.

First make sure to import this:

Imports Microsoft.Web.WebView2.Core
Imports Microsoft.Web.WebView2.WinForms

And then add this 2 events just replace wVBrowser with your Webview2 control name.

Private Sub wVBrowser_CoreWebView2InitializationCompleted(sender As Object, e As CoreWebView2InitializationCompletedEventArgs) Handles wVBrowser.CoreWebView2InitializationCompleted
            AddHandler wVBrowser.CoreWebView2.NewWindowRequested, AddressOf CoreWebView2_NewWindowRequested
        End Sub
Private Sub CoreWebView2_NewWindowRequested(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Microsoft.Web.WebView2.Core.CoreWebView2NewWindowRequestedEventArgs)
            e.Handled = True
        End Sub

Just be careful about where you register the WebView.CoreWebView2.NewWindowRequested event..

I tried to use Browser.Initialized event in which handler I would register this event handler but that event is never raised.

I had to use Browser.CoreWebView2InitializationCompleted and now everything works just fine..
