Unable to collapse the left side panel in teams anymore

As of yesterday, the display of my teams will no longer collapse the left side panel. I've tried settings, restarting the app, and restarting the computer. It used to open after selecting one of the options next to it, like chat or teams and then it would automatically close after I selected what I wanted from those options. How do I get it to collapse again?

    As other people have mentioned, the Reset fix is only temporary. If you leave the machine so it locks then log back in, the problem re-appears (I am using Windows 11). Also, this morning, the Teams app automatically displayed the sidebar again out of the blue without me doing anything...

    I tried messing around with zoom or the search bar but no luck. Someone else mentioned an option in Settings, although that doesn't appear to be available.

    I even tried using the "Update and Restart Teams" option under "Settings" menu and that brings the sidebar back, so I then had to reset it again.

    I'm so envious, mine didn't change at all after a reset. Watching this thread to see if a work around is found.
