greggdw Sadly, that didn't work for me. In fact, I noticed something strange. I made a backup copy of that 11KB persistent.conf file before overwriting it, just in case. Then I used your command to overwrite it with your tiny version. But shortly thereafter, Windows or Teams or something put back the same 11KB worth of data into the file. Meanwhile, as a workaround, I've been using the browser version of Teams under Edge, and that's been working fine. I also just saw a post on another thread, that some people have solved this by turning off GPU Hardware Acceleration in Teams Settings. So I'm gonna try that as well...
