    OmnidyneI managed to fix this on my computer. Had to remove the account association completely from my computer (university account). Go to "email & accounts" in windows settings, find "access work or school" and disconnect the account that keeps trying to sign in to teams. I then did the above steps and removed teams completely before reinstalling and finally I have a "fresh" install of teams.

Hi, for starters you can always use the web version and you don't even have to be signed in (usually) so that might calm you down a bit 🙂 When it comes to your issue though I suggest you try this script to reset your desktop client autostart settings https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/scripts/powershell-script-teams-reset-autostart just copy and paste it into PowerShell.

If it still doesn't work you might want to try to wipe all the locations described here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/get-clients#windows and reinstall again.

    ChristianJBergstrom Hi there, thanks so much for the reply. I  just tried both of these multiple times. in different orders and it still didn't work 😞 I'm really not sure whats going on

    . I did end up just using the web version of Teams, but still ran into issues where, even though I was logged in on the browser, I kept showing up as (Guest). I just hope that didn't effect the interviewers perception of me
