You have a Teams deployment. A user reports that the Teams client on their Windows device fails to update to the latest release automatically. What is the cause of the issue?

config.office.com policies primarily manage Microsoft 365 apps enterprise-wide settings, not the specific Teams client update behavior which has its own dedicated policies.

Teams client updates are designed to handle various installation paths and are not typically prevented by installation to a non-default location for automatic updates.

Teams client updates are managed by Teams update policies, which dictate how and when updates are applied to users' clients. A misconfigured policy, or one set to a non-automatic update cadence, will prevent the client from updating automatically.

"Teams upgrade settings" is a general term and does not refer to a specific, granular configuration in the Teams admin center that directly dictates automatic client updates in the same way a "Teams update policy" does.
