Hi, I have two versions of teams installed. I even deleted teams and re-installed it but whenever I open the program, it either gives me the newer look with teams integrated within chats or the older look with teams on its separate tab. Usually, when the system starts up, it's the older one that is loaded, I have to close teams (even in system tray) and then it loads up the newest version when I open it from the start menu. It is on my work computer so I do not have admin rights.

#

I think the upper one is actually the newer one

#

I had the same problem on my work laptop

plush cave Feb 17, 2025, 5:46 PM

#

so there are two versions installed?

dark steppe Feb 17, 2025, 5:47 PM

#

yeah

#

probably one from your IT department, and one from microsoft

#

deactivate that one and activate the upper one

plush cave Feb 17, 2025, 5:49 PM

#

I can't deactivate the bottom one

#

just the one on top

dark steppe Feb 17, 2025, 5:49 PM

#

oh

plush cave Feb 17, 2025, 5:50 PM

#

the one running now is :

dark steppe Feb 17, 2025, 5:51 PM

#

yeah it's the upper one

plush cave Feb 17, 2025, 5:52 PM

#

dark steppe Feb 17, 2025, 5:53 PM

#

maybe your IT department doesn't allow changing it

#

I have the Teams Machine-wider installer in my installed apps

dark steppe Feb 17, 2025, 6:03 PM

#

that's probably from the IT dept.

#

and the newer version is user only

#

that's my guess right now

#

when I search for teams, I get this:

#

Microsoft Teams Classic popping up but no icon and when I click on it, nothing happens

#

looks like tehre is no other version installed but there is

#

I'm not sure to understand

dark steppe Feb 17, 2025, 6:08 PM

#

yeah it is a bit confusing

#

maybe you can ask IT support at your company?

plush cave Feb 17, 2025, 6:11 PM

#

is this the latest version?

#

I remember clicking on preview, it might have fucked up things
