PatrickC50Didn't work for me, but I appreciate the suggestion. I have neither the time nor the inclination to chase after MS to fix issues it obviously has so very little interest in fixing. Frustrating...

PatrickC50I tried clearing all the cache listed in that post, including Temp Internet Files and whatnot. Did not help at all, Teams still restarts every time I quit it.

PatrickC50 Thanks for the suggestion, but it did nothing to help my situation. Still glitching out when I try to exit (the only time it doesn't glitch for me is if I exit Teams without actually doing anything - which is, of course, useless).
And I'll reiterate: even if this did work, WHY should I go to such lengths to fix problems which should be handled by the software itself? It feels like I'm bug fixing when MS should be doing this!

I'm with you! Running 3rd party PowerShell scripts to fix chat app? What if I'm typical freelancer / smb user and I just don't know how to even run PS? What kind of advice is that?

Hi PatrickC50
Nice suggestion. I've tried this, but unfortunately it didn't work for me and my colleagues.
But even if it would work, I find it a cumbersome approach to fix an issue that shouldn't exist in the first place. I mean, come on. Clearing cache to prevent an app to automatically restart after you click the X? The MS Teams App just doesn't feel right. It feels sluggish, laggy, and very very beta.
My eyes are still on Microsoft to provide a (stable) solution to this annoying issue. But they shine in absence once again on this thread. We're paying customers, dangit!

PatrickC50 Thanks for this - I'll check this out when I get home. Although I don't have to know whether or not it works to be annoyed that Microsoft - once again - troubleshoots its own products by suggesting that the end user perform system actions that the SOFTWARE should be doing ITSELF. Typical Microsoft.
