- Click on the Advanced tab, and navigate to the Security section.
- See if TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, TLS 1.2, and TLS 1.3 are enabled or not, if they are disabled, enable them.
- Finally, select the OK button to save the changes.
Run Microsoft Teams to see if the issue persists
5] Disable VPN
VPN client and Proxy servers can cause hindrances in the connection between the Teams server and the Windows 11/10 client machine. As a result, we won’t be able to access Teams, so either disable or uninstall your VPN software or remove any proxy server from the device. Once done, check whether logging in to Team is possible or not.
6] Reinstall the Teams app
Sometimes the issue lies in the installation, due to which doing any troubleshooting methods other than reinstalling the app won’t work. In this solution, we are going to uninstall the app, delete the AppData folder, and then reinstall it.
After uninstalling the app, click Win + R to open the Run dialog box. Type %appdata%, hit the Enter button, and then search the Teams folders. Right-click on it and select Uninstall option. After doing this, reboot the PC, and install a fresh copy of the app.
