    Hi Petri-X, I found a blog post by Pieter Veenstra who describes the difference in the Teams app behaviour. If you quit Teams app, it will be closed, and you must start the application again manually. If you logout from the Teams app, it will sign out your account and give you the chance to login immediately again.

    Log in to Microsoft Teams, log-out and log out again (sharepains.com)

     

    My experience is also, that Teams do a "fresh up" when you sign out and sign in again. The Teams app retrieves all policies assigned to your account.

     

    For a clean shutdown of the app it is better to quit or log out instead a task kill.
