Register teams as the chat app for office

Hi ,

Why doesn't microsoft teams save the setting " general - Register teams as the chat app for office " ?

Everytime I start my computer , again this selection box is ticked off .

    Hey bwillocx 
    Sorry for the late response.
    Please click on new email and search for a name and click the detailed view of the person you searched for and click on 'Start a Chat'.
    See if it opens Teams or Zoom.
    If it opens zoom then uninstall zoom and reset Default apps in settings.
    Check the register chat as office app option in teams,

    Restart the machine and check.
    If it remains checked, then you are good to go!
    You can reinstall Zoom post this.
    Hope this helps.

    Hi bwillocx,,

    That might be a cache issue, this can be solved following this guide.

    https://www.onmsft.com/how-to/how-to-clear-your-microsoft-teams-cache-on-windows-10#:~:text=1%20Quit%20Microsoft%20Teams%202%20Cut%20and%20paste,entire%20folder.%204%20Restart%20Microsoft%20Teams.%20See%20More

     

    Should the problem persist there is a Registry solution provided by Lee Ford (MVP)

    I hope this helped.

      Hi kaaven ,

       

      deleting the cache doesn't help .  I will raise a service ticket to our IT helpdesk as I'm not allowed to execute your second proposal ( script running ).

      Thanks anyway for your feedback . Grtz Bart
