We were having a personal app inside the teams, in which at one point we could we open our dekstop app using "window.open". But after the latest update for the teams desktop app , this does not work anymore. We are not able to open the dekstop app from the teams dekstop app. Please help me with a solution or work around.

Seems like something's broken in latest client update, do you have version 1.6.00.16472 by any chance?

Now, clicking to open my other desktop application will cause a Teams pop-up window to appear, as if it is blocking the opening. Is it because Teams has updated something that does not support opening other desktop applications through protocols
