Desktop app restarting itself even when on calls

I'm leaving the Teams desktop app on my taskbar and noticed that it's restarting from time to time. Earlier today I was on a meeting and the app also restarted... And it's happening very often.

 

I already uninstalled and installed it again (about 5 or 6 times), and restarted my computer.

 

I'm using Teams desktop app Version 1.0 (there isn't more version details in about page - but I downloaded it yesterday) and Windows 10 Pro version 1909 (build 18363.720).

  • Can you try the following: 

     

    Fully exit Microsoft Teams Client.  (Right click on Teams icon from the icon tray and select "quit", or you can use task manager 😉)

     

    Next, run the following Powershell commands:

    Remove-Item –path $env:APPDATA”\Microsoft\teams\blob_storage\*”

    Remove-Item –path $env:APPDATA”\Microsoft\teams\Cache\*”

    Remove-Item –path $env:APPDATA”\Microsoft\teams\databases\*”

    Remove-Item –path $env:APPDATA”\Microsoft\teams\GPUcache\*”

    Remove-Item –path $env:APPDATA”\Microsoft\teams\IndexedDB\*” -recurse

    Remove-Item –path $env:APPDATA”\Microsoft\teams\Local Storage\*” -recurse

    Remove-Item –path $env:APPDATA”\Microsoft\teams\tmp\*”

    Restart Teams and see if problems are fixed. 

    Let me know!

      I'll try that right now and will get in touch in a few to hours to report if it worked. Thanks.
