Reinstalling fixes the issue for a day or so, then it starts back.

Hi GeorgeRoberson,

Since reinstall Teams can temporarily fix this issue, you can try to sign out and kill Teams from Task Manager to see how it goes.

If the problem persists, you can try to clear Teams cache to see if it can help:

1.  Fully exit the Microsoft Teams desktop client. You can right click Teams from the Icon Tray and select ‘Quit’ or run Task Manager and fully kill the process.

2.  Go to File Explorer, and type in %appdata%\Microsoft\teams.

3.  Once in the directory, you’ll see a few of the following folders:

========================================================

 a.  From within ‘Application Cache’, go to Cache and delete any of the files in the Cache location.

    *   %appdata%\Microsoft\teams\application cache\cache

 b.  From within ‘Blob_storage’, delete any files that are located in here if any.

    *   %appdata%\Microsoft\teams\blob_storage

 c.  From within ‘Cache’, delete all files.

    *   %appdata%\Microsoft\teams\Cache

 d.  From within ‘databases’, delete all files.

    *   %appdata%\Microsoft\teams\databases

 e.  From within ‘GPUCache’, delete all files.

    *   %appdata%\Microsoft\teams\GPUcache

 f.  From within ‘IndexedDB’, delete the .db file.

    *   %appdata%\Microsoft\teams\IndexedDB

 g.  From within ‘Local Storage’, delete all files.

    *   %appdata%\Microsoft\teams\Local Storage

 h.  Lastly, from within ‘tmp’, delete any file.

*   %appdata%\Microsoft\teams\tmp

====================================================

Once the cleanup is finally completed, you can now restart Teams and check the results.

Best Regards,

Sylvie

    Hi,

    I removed the files mentioned by Sylvie but the issue was still there.

    But then I noticed that some files inside the %appdata%\Microsoft\teams\ folder

    have the timestamp updated so I additionally removed all those files:

    SquirrelTelemetry.log

    preauth.json

    watchdog_12.json

    media-stack

    watchdog_14.json

    settings.json

    TransportSecurity

    Cookies-journal

    Cookies

    logs.txt

    Network Persistent State

    QuotaManager

    QuotaManager-journal

    desktop-config.json

    storage.json

    and after that I was able to log in.

    Kind Regards

    Jan

    This (deleting everything under %appdata%\Microsoft\Teams) worked for me. The selective deletion did not work, but deleting everything did work. I had to close Outlook before I could delete the meeting-addin folder
