The Widgets and Teams Chat app crashing as soon as I open them [Release preview build (22000.194)]
I've upgraded from windows 10 to windows 11 release preview build (22000.194) today.
I'm encountering an issue where the Widgets app is crashing as soon as I open it.
And the Teams Chat app is opening a window to sign-in to teams, and when I sign in, the window closes automatically, and sometimes there are multiple instances of the sign-in windows from the teams app when I click the Chat icon in the taskbar (screenshot attached).
And every time when I restart my system, there're more than 5-7 pop ups from the Teams app to sign-in. And when I sign-in, it again crashes(closes) in few seconds and it behaves in the same way when I open it again.
The multiple instances of the teams app when I click the Teams Chat app more than once, at it doesn't respond.
I've tried uninstalling the Teams app, and the reinstallation happened automatically when I clicked the Chat icon in the taskbar.
I've ran the sfc scan too, it didn't show any problem.
I've almost searched for this problem for more than half a day, but till now I couldn't find any related problems in any of the forums.
Kindly provide me with a solution.

The Teams app crashed for me too initially, but running the app as administrator seems to prevent it from crashing for some reason.
- Thank you, yes it works only if you run as Administrator
- Ditto
- I'm facing the same problem after installing W11. I cannot open WIDGETS nor TEAMS.
The problem resolved after Microsoft released an update to Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime, to version 94.0.992.50.
Widgets do not work in earlier versions of Edge WebView2 Runtime.
UHD Driver WebView2 Widgets Teams 3rd Party Apps 27.20.100.8935 94.0.992.50 Does not work properly Does not work properly OK 30.0.100.9894 Beta 94.0.992.50 OK OK OK 30.0.100.9955 94.0.992.50 OK Does not work properly Does not work properly - It worked! Tks!
- I have the same issue. Windows update's driver version (27.20.100.8935) will break the Teams and Widgets. Intel's beta version (30.0.100.9894) fixes the Teams, but Widgets still don't work.
My GPU is Intel UHD 10th generation. - I encountered the same problem after trying everything i finally updated graphics drivers. Now it works
open device manager
Display adapters
Graphics card
Drivers
Update - I also have the same problem, when I disabled the intel UHD graphics driver it works. After I restarted the PC the problem started again
I found the fix. When I disabled my Intel UHD graphics driver the issue was rectified. Now I've installed the beta version of Intel UHD graphics driver which is the only option for me that's compatible with windows 11 for now.
- Yes, now the final version is released. It worked for me.
- Even with the final version I still get that issue when I switch back to the stable release of the intel UHD driver.
