I've noticed some users have experienced similar issues with Microsoft Teams on Windows 11. Here are a few steps you might find helpful in optimizing its performance:
Update Everything: Make sure both Windows 11 and Microsoft Teams are fully updated. Often, updates include performance improvements and bug fixes that could help with the issues you're encountering.
Disable Hardware Acceleration: In Teams, go to Settings > General and try disabling hardware acceleration. Some users have found that this can alleviate performance slowdowns.
Clear Teams Cache: Sometimes, clearing the cache can resolve issues:
- Close Teams completely.
- Navigate to
%appdata%\Microsoft\Teams in File Explorer.
- Delete the contents of the Cache, databases, GPUCache, and any other folders that hold temporary data.
Check for Background Apps: Ensure no unnecessary apps are running in the background that could be using up resources, affecting Teams' performance.
Power Settings: Check your power settings under Control Panel > Power Options. If you're on a laptop, sometimes selecting the 'High Performance' power plan can help.
Network Connection: Ensure your internet connection is stable, as Teams heavily relies on a steady connection, especially for video calls.
Many users are still adjusting to Windows 11, so if the issue persists, it could be beneficial to monitor updates from Microsoft as they continue to refine the OS. Additionally, community forums, including Microsoft’s, can sometimes have specific solutions that others have found effective.
Is there a specific aspect of Teams that seems to be more problematic, like calls or file sharing? This could help in narrowing down a more precise solution.
