Teams Client teams.exe multiple copies running
I received an answer to this on a different forum (answers.microsoft.com) from Amanda Zhang, MSFT.
"Based on my experience, when running Microsoft Teams client on our computer, there are some background processes along with it. It is normal behavior, so you don’t need to worry about this. If you encounter any issue when using Microsoft Teams, feel free to post a new thread in our forum."
So it looks like that is just what it is. I will consider this answered and won't open a support ticket.
I've got 4 running, in addition to the main app.
Luckily I have 32GB ram, but now sure what they all are... see pic.
A little weird, right? I played around a little more and it looks like as soon as Teams starts running in the background (in system tray) I get 5 teams.exe processes immediately. It stays 5 instances regardless of whether the client UI is open or not.
I noticed when a sixth teams.exe showed up. I had added a SharePoint tab to one of the channels. When I clicked on that tab, it made me sign in again to our O365 SP site, and another teams.exe popped up in processes.
Hi to all,
I have the same, when starting have 1 process on Apps and 4 processes on background.
