Microsoft Teams keeps asking me to sign in

A couple of weeks back I updated to Windows 11. Yes I know...it was a risk but I did it anyway :)

Everything has been fine apart from Microsoft teams, its currently the bane of my life!

I work for myself, from home and use Microsoft Teams from week to week, depending on the client but to add I have used MT for a few years without an issue until now. Since updating to W11 (not sure if there is a link to the update), but when I open MT, I get the “This version of Teams only supports work or school accounts managed by an organisation” message.

I hunted around and found the "deleting cache" trick and it worked,.... However If I close my PC down or quit MT (as I don't want it running in the background) then try MT again I get the "This version of Teams only supports work or school accounts managed by an organisation” message again!! So I have to delete the cache and start again...It now has become so frustrating I need a fix or work around.

Please can someone help me...or do I just move to Zoom?

I use my company email address and not my personal one, if this make a difference.

Hi Paul,

I'm sorry to hear that you're having issues with your Teams app. This error usually happens when you have the the pre-installed teams. You may check it by pressing the start and going to settings>apps. In apps, search for Teams then delete the unecessary version of Teams from the attached picture below.

Hi Paul, I'll try to assist you today.

Based on your scenario there can be lot of solutions, however I'll give you the most common one which you can try and see if it works or not.

Clear Teams cache by using these steps in Windows:

  1. If Teams is still running then right-click on the Teams icon in the taskbar, and select Quit.

  2. Open the Run dialog box by pressing the Windows logo key Image +R.

  3. In the Run dialog box, enter this %appdata%\Microsoft\Teams, and then click OK.

  4. Delete all the files and folders you'll see in the %appdata%\Microsoft\Teams directory.

  5. Restart Pc and also Teams.

If the above doesn't solve your problem then the next best solution is to clear windows Credential Manager:

As deleting your locally stored credentials sometimes solves this issue

  1. Open the Control Panel and navigate to the User Accounts.

  2. Then click on Credential Manager and select your windows credentials.

  3. Move down to Generic Credentials and see where is your Office credentials.

  4. Then you'll see MicrosoftAccount:user and click Remove.

  5. Restart Pc and also Teams.

Don't worry it'll not cause any problems with your account. Hope it helps.

Warm Regards

Anirban Sarkar

Hi Anirban, Thanks for your post. I tried both options but neither worked.

After 1st option, Teams asked which email i wanted to use to sign in, I choose my work one and everything is fine. If i quit Team (as it says its running in the background and i will receive notifications) and then reopen teams it displays the “This version of Teams only supports work or school accounts managed by an organisation” message.

I will try and reinstall as suggested by someone else.

Hi Alvaro,

Ok so I have uninstalled and reinstalled MT as suggested using the "for home or small business" link.

MT suggested I used my personal email, but I choose "use another account" and put in my work email/password. Everything looked great.

I quit MT and tried to reopen, it yet again suggested I used my personal email address. When I choose use different account...it tried loading but just looks like the below image. I closed it, quit again and tried to reopen but again just shows me the view below.

Hi Alvaro, I deleted the folder, restarted my PC and all I get is same black MT screen.

Time for Zoom I think....lol

I have just uninstalled and reinstalled MT after deleting the folder and restarting the PC. Its logged me in but I 100% know that once I hit quit and try to access MT again, it wont work. I have a MT meeting in 30mins so going to leave it running in the background for now.

I'm sorry to hear that, Paul. For the last time, can you please completely uninstall from program files and/or from apps then try again? This is a new issue compared to your previous one.
