- Microsoft Teams
- Device & OS

- Scenario
- Launching Microsoft Teams and attempting to proceed past an upgrade prompt.
- Observed behavior

Confirm whether you are using a personal or work account, and verify if Microsoft Teams was installed as a standalone purchase or as part of a larger enterprise package.

Right-click the Microsoft Teams icon in your Windows system tray (bottom-right corner) and select Sign out or Quit.
Open Microsoft Teams from your Start menu and sign back in using your credentials.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the Microsoft Teams upgrade button unresponsive?
This usually happens due to corrupted application data, an outdated installation, or an account conflict between a personal and work profile trying to access the same application.
Will repairing Microsoft Teams delete my chat history?
No, repairing the app through Windows Advanced Options only fixes the installation files. Your chat history, contacts, and shared files are stored securely in the cloud and will remain intact.
What should I do if the Repair option does not fix the issue?
If repairing fails, you can return to the Advanced options menu and select Reset, which will clear the app's local data. If the problem persists, uninstall Teams entirely and download the latest version from the official Microsoft website.
