Create EnableADAL Key in Your Registry Settings works for me! Thank you for the tips ;D
Jeff says
Using the browser app to get to Teams worked.
I don’t have “Security Devices” in “Device Manager” so cannot take that path.
In “Credential Manager” I don’t have an entry “mstreams_adalsso/adal_context_segments”.
Cannot “EnableADAL” because Regedit does not show a “Identify” key under “Identity”.
Didn’t try uninstalling Teams.
