Unfortunately, it’s not all fun and games, as some of our readers reported that Microsoft Teams is not working in Windows 11. Teams is just not opening or repeatedly crashes while the widget’s window shows multiple app instances. We’ve seen many errors with the program already, so it’s no surprise they also keep popping up in Windows 11.

Why is Microsoft Teams not working in Windows 11?

Like with any Windows app, Teams can freeze, crash or not load, and there are a lot of possible causes for that behavior, but we will try to outline the main ones. ➡ Connection problems The problems with your local Internet connection or the server are probably the most often encountered issues that prevent you from using Microsoft Teams. So, check if your connection is stable, then try to open the app’s dedicated website and see if they don’t have any announcements about specific server issues. You can also visit DownDetector and check if other users have reported connection problems with the software at that moment. ➡ Application and system updates Like any other app, many issues can appear if you don’t install its latest updates. And we’re also talking about OS updates because the problems can be linked to that. ➡ File corruption If you experience any electrical outage, hard drive failures, software conflicts, and other such events, there are chances to get file corruption problems with any app, not just Microsoft Teams. Another file corruption reason can be malware and virus infections, so organizing your defense against these threats is essential. SPONSORED
