ChristianBergstromWell, meanwhile I tried suggested workaround to start Teams in Compatibility Mode for Windows 8 and so far, it is working well.

DoreenN Hi, this could be one of many things.
Only for some users? Any the difference between them?
Have you tried to exit Teams completely (end process)?
Have you tried removing all cached credentials from Credential Manager?
Have you reset the app by deleting the Teams desktop cache? (%appdata%\Microsoft\Teams)
How does the account settings in Windows look like?

ChristianBergstromHello, yes I know and therefore I tried a lot of suggested workarounds from people facing same issue in different forum.
Not all user, just a few have these kind of issue. We didn't found a difference in detail. All have same Windows domain and permisson etc.
Yes, I tried logoff from app as well as from O365, exit, killing prozess.
I didn't found anything in credential manager which belongs to teams. Just having virtualapp/didlogical which I deleted as well.
I deleted Teams desktop cache.
Not sure what account setting is mentioned but I am logged in with a Domain User and haven't got administrative permission.
Attached you will find the log. Any help is appreciated.

Did you manage to resolve this? I am having the same issue and it is driving me mad. Browser works fine, but desktop doesn't. Uninstalled, reinstalled, cleared cache.etc... I also have another PC where the same login works fine on the desktop app. No sense to this madness.
I have the same login issue where it doesnt actually ask for the password anymore.
Any help, highly appreciated

Hi, please have a look at these pages.

DoreenN Hey, sorry for the delayed answer. I'm attending https://microsoft365pro.co.uk/teamsfest/
What happens if you make a password change on the ones having the issue?
Out of curiosity, how did you deploy Teams? M365 Apps or Endpoint Configuration Manager?

- DeeMcClanahanJul 20, 2021Copper ContributorHaving the same problem just today. Using Win7x64. On home-based PC, but logging in using Work email account. Has had no problems until today when I changed my work password related to my work email account. Tried everything so far that I can find. Teams will open and display "get started" button. I click that and I then enter in my work email address. I do not get the pop up window any more asking me if this is a work account or personal. I no longer get the request for password popup box. After a few seconds it goes straight to the "Try Again" something is wrong screen.
I've gone thru and deleted every entry in Windows directory as well as Registry.
I have a Win10 laptop from the office and do not have and issue with it. I also do not have an issue logging on to Teams using web-app (both using my new password). There are no Office or Teams credentials on my home desktop Credential Manager. Very frustrating. - DoreenNOct 07, 2020Copper Contributor

DoreenN Well, that shouldn't be the solution really. But I suppose you can use that until you figure the other stuff out!
