Not sure if this the correct solution, but when I tried to run the test case using non - admin instance of Visual Studio 2013 I was getting the Unable to find element on closed window exception. But when I ran the same case as administrator the test case worked as expected and this exception was not thrown.

What happens when you try something like this?

driver.switchTo().defaultContent();

You'll need to switch windows. This link has a good rundown on how you can do this:

How to switch to the new browser window, which opens after click on the button?

The relevant part for you is this:

//Store the current window handle
String winHandleBefore = driver.getWindowHandle();

//Perform the click operation that opens new window

//Switch to new window opened
for(String winHandle : driver.getWindowHandles()){
    driver.switchTo().window(winHandle);
}

// Perform the actions on new window
