We have Teams set to automatically launch for every user at login, even though we don’t use it in our organization in any way.

We did the opposite. Teams is prevented from even installing any components by our endpoint security. Same with OneDrive.
The only downside is that Office installs have to be handled manually due to needing to click a couple errors screens. Office updates work fine, just new installs. Small price to pay.
I'd use the new one
That narrows it down to 2 of the 2 options
Nah man, we have all migrated to new teams.
I had a lady at work the other day that had 3 different versions of Outlook and she opened the 2 of the 3 that just don't work. An update replaced the desktop shortcut and added a new worse version.
And yet people think Linux (mint) is so hard to use and absolutely no replacement for windows.
Linux: go to app store, click install. Done
Windows: go to app store, click install done.
Literally the same process, only Linux doesn't randomly update your apps and make them crash. My windows installation at work literally had 3 outlook variants at some point (just like you mentioned) and none of them worked.
I literally never was forced to use the terminal in Linux (well I did but not because I had to) and in windows I have to do shitty things in the register to get back functions (like that terrible decision to hide the "refresh" in the context menu).
I genuinely think MS has gone down the enshittification route and I'm not just preaching to the choir. I have every day (sadly have to use it at work) annoyances with windows and Linux just works..
Couldn't this be the web version fighting the installed application?
No, Microsoft, in their infinite wisdom, made a new teams, which they called "New Teams" to differentiate it from the old teams, known as "Teams." the old teams was installed newer so its the new old teams, whereas the new teams is old.
Hope this helps!
From the geniuses who brought you the XBox One, not to be confused with the XBox that came first. And the XBox Series X, not to be confused with the XBox One X.
When Apple had the iPhone X instead of the 10, it was a little weird but if made sense at least. And they didn’t go X > 10, but 9 > X > 11. I still don’t know what the Xbox was trying to do with the Series X, but I’m not sure they did either. And why “series”, what is that supposed to even mean?!
Terrible use of > 😄
