Teams configuration "Open by default in desktop app" for Microsoft 365 Business

The Teams configuration "Open by default in desktop app" for Microsoft 365 Business Users does not work and shows as Read-Only for the documents.

Please reinstate this feature, doing anything more than viewing and minor editors requires the App. Browser and Teams have limited functionality and responsiveness, increases time and frustration when completing tasks.

We do have 2016 and 2019 MS Office installed in standalone machines and use Office 365 Business Basic for collaboration in Teams.

Should'nt the Open in Desktop app work properly then as the Office 2016 and 2019 are activated, please advise how to solve this issue. How to get rid of Read-Only?

Thank you very much

      Hello Kidd_Ip 

      Thank you very much for your quick response. However, this did not solve the problem and issue still remains. Both the owner and member both still see Read Only on the documents when they open . See picture below
