Not GP, but Teams on Windows 10 is a great example of how Electron apps can be terrible. It is sluggish, uses a lot of RAM and causes other Chromium based apps to run out of memory, crashes every so often, has serious issues with logging in after a password change, is not really feature rich, its User Voice forum for voting on issues and feature requests has many that have been asked for years by a lot of people but not prioritized and so on.
I have reinstalled MS Teams many times, cleared all its cache folders many times, removed all Office and other credentials from Credential Manager many times, made registry changes, logged out explicitly and logged in many times. These are routine activities I have to do just to use it because my organization has a subscription and won’t use any other tool (Skype for Business was abandoned after it reached some amount of stability over several years).
In summary, MS Teams is a dysfunctional tool that reflects the dysfunctional organization behind it. I can’t think of any other reason why it should be so badly maintained.
Every time I think of Windows and other MS applications like Teams, I can’t help but wonder what big productivity and time suckers these are. They seem to be the lowest common denominator in the IT world.

- SilverRed 6y agoThey also made a change recently so the X button does not close the app so when it goes funny I have to open the task manager to restart the thing. If I wanted to minimize the program I would have hit the - instead.
- ormax3 6y agoSkype, OneDrive, .. also behave the same with the X button...
- hnick 6y agoIt doesn't even, as far as I can tell, show when I'm not logged in in the taskbar. I've worked a few hours before and had to ask a question and then realised I wasn't even signed in. At least Lync and Skype for Business made this obvious. Plus full screen isn't. I have to ask people to zoom in when they screen share.
