Open Teams problem

After resetting* my Teams app in Windows 10, I can ONLY use it online. (Any attempt to open the app insists on opening it online!)

[*The reset was performed based on a stupid tip from Google's AI about how to get rid of duplicate contacts.]

How can I restore the app's previous functionality?

Please help!

[It's a shame that Microsoft killed Skype out of greed. Skype was so simple and powerful that Teams will never be able to reach its level!]

    The Teams download link for Windows 10 seems to be wrong.

    You can use this workaround to get the correct download link for the app.

    Try these steps First, close and uninstall Teams via Windows settings > Apps.

    Log in to the web version, then select "Meet" to generate a meeting link. Paste the meeting link into a new browser tab and open it; once you see the "Join your Teams meeting" screen, look for the "Download now" option at the bottom and install the application.

    After installation, the option to join the meeting will appear immediately; look for the "Sign in" option at the bottom, log in with your account, see if it lets you.

    What is the OS version of your Windows 10 installation?

    What exactly is the error message saying when you are trying to open Teams?
