> i can click Teams normally, but I will look further

I can record my screen if needed. That's extremely weird, and I can't understand why it's Teams only.

If it helps, Teams version is 26213.1003.5004.4102

I have an update on this issue. At some point, the 8-hour "Buy License" notification appeared. I clicked OK, and after that the issue was resolved. The Teams application is no longer being terminated.

This suggests that the problem was not related to Teams itself, but rather to the persisted application state within Taskbar, with Teams simply being the application affected at the time.

I had already suspected that the issue was related to an invalid application state, so I previously tried removing the Taskbar application completely from the system, or at least what I believed to be a complete removal, and then restarted the computer. However, that did not resolve the issue, which suggests that some part of the application state was still persisted on disk.

2.3.2 has been released that hopefully addresses the issue. can you test @uplinkgit ?
