Teams is garbage in lots of other ways too. Recently, when I end a teams meeting from the browser (in chrome), it will keep a zombie process going that will hit 100% CPU. Luckily my laptop reminds me of this after a few minutes because the fans go to turbojet mode. Closing chrome doesn't kill it. And it's not enough to kill chrome in the task manager, because it will reappear when I start chrome again. I have to force stop it in the chrome task manager first.

Crazy! How can a browser tab launch another process? My understanding was each tab was its own singular process?
The tab that was running the teams meeting became the zombie process, and it persisted even if you closed the tab.
