In front of them, we see four people sitting on the chairs. In front of them, we see white tables on which glasses containing water are placed. Behind them, we see a projector screen displaying something. In the background, it is blue in color and we see some text written on it.

Microsoft Teams: Fix Persistent 'Work' & 'Home' Toggle Issue

Microsoft Teams users have been facing a persistent issue with toggling between 'work' and 'home' versions. The root cause lies in the local system configuration, and Microsoft's official suggestions have not provided a permanent solution.

The Ultimate Microsoft Teams Guide and Microsoft Teams Pro Tips offer expert insights to resolve this problem. The real solution involves two key steps:

First, remove the old Teams icon from the Start menu and Taskbar. This clears legacy traces and establishes clean launch points, preventing the toggle prompt at its source.

Second, locate and pin the correct version of Microsoft Teams labeled 'work' or 'Microsoft Teams (work and home)' to the Start menu and Taskbar. This ensures that the system references the correct version, preventing further conflicts.

By following these steps, users can address the core issue of conflicting system references to different Teams versions. The transformation is immediate, resulting in no more toggle prompts, clean Teams launches, reduced user frustration, and improved team productivity.
