Cannot uninstall Teams Machine-Wide installer - Microsoft Community.
Thank you! Any more feedback? The more you tell us the more we can help. Can you help us improve? Resolved my issue. Clear instructions. Easy to follow. No jargon. Pictures helped. I have already done that, it does not work. The screenshot I put was just after me trying just that. Btw, the main reason I'm trying to uninstall is to see if I can solve two other problems with teams:. I've already tried to update the protocol associations for msteams in Settings, but it won't let me, it says there are no apps associated to that protocol.
Thanks for the update. It will help us to determine whether it is specific Windows registry side issue. Choose where you want to search below Search Search the Community. This thread is locked. I hope these scripts helped you remove and clean up Microsoft Teams. If you want to re-install Microsoft Teams, then make sure you check out this article.
Again thanks to Mark Vale for the clean-up script! Maybe this is an unspecified error that update. Thank you. This is an excellent script…thank you for publishing! However, I need it to be remotely executable. This seemed to worked fine as I have. The up-to-date profiles appear to be skipped due to version check and still have all files no. But the Teams installer is a strange one, to be honest. Hi super, we are struggling with this because many times users have problems with logging in: there is an error occured.
When i start the script for uninstalling multiple users then a error occures: uninstallteams is nog recognised as a cmdlet….? Make sure that you have loaded the function in PowerShell. I am copy the script to powershell ISE and then save it as a ps1.
Then copy the ps1 to the local computer and then start it using. Am i doing this wrong? Thanks for the script. Exactly what I was looking for. With the 2nd script by Mark to remove cache, it looks like it is for a single user case. Are you able to modify it to do a recursive delete for all users on the RDS server? You can only modify the start menu items with Windows 10 Enterprise. With Windows 10 pro you can only preconfigure the start menu for new users. One other item to remove from the appdata local would be the squirell temp directory.
I just sacrificed my Teams install to test the Powershell script for you and it worked. So right click Start button to open Admin Powershell, copy and paste the script from the above tutorial into the box and if necessary press the Enter button - mine started on its own and confirmed exactly what it was doing. I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and keep me posted.
If you will wait to rate my post, I will keep working with you until it's resolved. The pages appear to be providing accurate, safe information.

Im still not able to access that myself either. I tried reboot in safe mode but bitlocker asked for my recovery key and that stumped me. So check for that key now to continue with the steps I gave in Safe Mode. If not then it's more important than ever that you have your files backed up externally because if WIndows fails you will have no other options but to wipe the drive and reinstall since Bitlocker will lock you out without a key.
Your files should always be backed up because a hard drive can die at any time without notice. In addition I'd have an on-site hard copy backup.

Franois Haven't received your update for a long time, any update now? If the above suggestion helps, please be free to mark it as answer for helping more people. Many factors could lead to a delay update, such as long time no sign into Teams client, network instability.
Teams checks for updates every few hours behind the scenes, downloads it, and then waits for the computer to be idle before silently installing the update. So, you should log in Teams client frequently. Franois , Do you have any further question on this topic?
If the suggestion helps, please be free to mark it as an answer for helping more people. See my reaction to Franois, updating the machine wide installer is possible if you use SCCCM with the procedure i described.
And it is necessary, because eventually the version of the machine wide installer will be so old that a manual download is required imediatly after installation of this old version to be able to use Teams. We are in a similar situation.
The deployment was disappointing to begin with, in that all the installer does is create a Teams Installer directory under program files and then copies the installer approx mb to every single logged in user, which chews up the hard disk for multi user devices. We've only just noticed now, that despite us pushing out version 1. We are now starting to get users who log into PC's for the first time and get prompted about not being a updated version and click here to update, which takes them to a download link for Teams.
This will not install for all users as it requires elevated credentials which end users do not have. Installation of this version cannot continue. I've also tried extracting the Teams. In writing this, I've just discovered that running the Teams. I guess I'll try and also push the update. BrianGe I have the exact same issue as you, we have a wide range of versions when we first deployed the Machine installer, and are running into the issues where a new user signs in and the app wants a update.
I also tried the same thing as you - installing the latest version of the machine wide installer, and of course it failed with the message you got. The other day a new user signed in got the update message, so we let it download from the web, it installed, Teams launched but did not connect to their work account.
I'm going to try the idea of uninstalling the machine installer with existing user Teams already installed , then re-install the latest version and see if it breaks anything. Not sure how else to do this, I have to keep these installers up to date or I'm going to get a lot more of these issues with new users.
Glad I'm testing on my own machine - Don't uninstall the machine wide installer - it uninstalls all Teams on the machine even my user install. The trouble is, Teams is updated very often, so trying to keep the Machine Wide Installer up to date on all devices is a big challenge with a big administrative overhead.
Since running the updated Teams. I'll be back to work on Tuesday, so will be doing more testing before writing up a script to redeploy. It's still unclear if running Teams. If it does, we can just add an extra line into the script after the files are copied to simply launch Teams.
Here's a PS1 I've just whipped up, still needs some more testing on site, but so far it seems to be what I want. I've modified the script that we initially used to push Teams, so it'll also do the install on a new client along with an update if required:.
BrianGe what you have posted is exactly what I've been experiencing. Is this PS1 working for you? It seems that after the new version is copied, you have to run the Teams. This is a batch file I run on the computers with a lower version but is also based on the Uninstall string of the installer.
Sorry, can you explain what you are doing here? I have Nessus complaining about teams. Are you copying the latest teams. Have SCCM also.
BenjaminJohn I grab the latest Machine Wide installer v1. REM Forces the machine wide installer to re-install from the updated cache msiexec. The machine wide installer has been updated to 1. Hope this helps, so far I have had no problems with this procedure, I will have to circle back and fix the other versions that have different GUID's, but that might be difficult as I'm thinking I would have to uninstall it - which would then uninstall Teams for the user as well.
When I click "Uninstall" I get prompted to find an Teams. I tried downloading several MSIs and using those, nothing worked. I'm on Windows 10 Pro. Thanks for the screenshot.
