6 Ways To Fix Microsoft Teams Assignments Tab Not Working

Schools are now teaching in a whole new way. And this new remote learning process has become fairly simple through Microsoft Teams.

Assignment tab is one great schooling feature of Teams. With this, Educators can manage assignments, add resources, and automatically track students’ progress. Also, students can get clear instructions on their assigned tasks, work, or quizzes.

However, in recent years the Assignment tabs won’t work sometimes.

Fortunately, after a lengthy investigation, I’ve found the optimum solution for this problem.

Enough talk. Let’s jump into the article to solve Microsoft Teams Assignments Tab not working issue once and for all.

1. Use Microsoft Teams Online

2. clear teams cache, 3. turn on access to new students, 4. update teams, 5. stop your vpn and firewall, 6. repair office, how to fix teams assignments tab not showing up.

Teams assignment tab works through an add-on named TD-assignments, and its preliminary data is loaded into the device’s cache file. This feature gets unresponsive when your system file gets too much junk. Old versions of the application or lack of access through the Windows firewall also cause Teams Assignments Tab not showing issues.

Here are the fixes for Assignments Tab not working in Microsoft Teams:

Sometimes your Desktop Teams application stops working for some bugs or Windows update issues. Those times you need to try using Teams online. The Online version of Teams is immune to Windows bugs, so they will work perfectly.

Here are the ways to use MS Teams online:

• Open any browser (using Chrome or Edge is recommended)
• Launch a new Incognito window > Visit Teams website .
• Sign into your Teams account.
• Check for the Assignments tab.

You need to use the incognito window in this method to avoid the popup window of the Teams app installed on your PC.

Corrupted cache files can stop add-ons like the Assignment tab in the Teams application. As you clear the cache file, Microsoft Teams application will reset, and the system will create a fresh set of the cache file.

Here are the steps to clear the cache file of Teams:

• Exit Teams completely. (close the app in from Task manager)
• Open Windows Run ( Win+R ).

• Delete the contents in the Cache folder.
• Restart your PC.

After completing these steps, re-log into your Teams application and check if the assignment tap starts working or not.

If you add any new students to your Teams classroom, they won’t be able to use the assignment tab right away. As admin, you must give access to those new students from the settings.

Here are the steps to grant access to new students in Teams Assignment Tab:

• Go to Teams > Assignments .
• Click the 3-dot icon on the top-right.
• Tap Assignment Settings .
• Turn on the New Students will receive assignments created before they joined the class option.

As a student, you can’t directly apply these steps. You need to ask your teacher to apply this fix for you to grant access.

Microsoft continuously releases updates for Teams applications of all platforms to fix bugs and other issues. Generally, on an outdated Teams application, you can face problems in viewing the assignment tab.

So you should keep your application up to date all the time.

Here are the steps to update the Teams application in Windows:

• Open Teams application.
• Click the 3-dot icon.
• Tap Update .

Your update will take some time based on the internet connection. After updating the Teams application, restart your PC, and your Assignment will start working again.

Sometimes VPN or the Windows firewall can prevent the Teams app from getting the necessary information for the Admin. For this reason, your assignment menu can stop working. That time you need to disable your VPN and Windows Firewall.

Here are the steps to close VPN in Windows:

• Right-click on the Task Bar and click Task manager .
• Go to Process .
• Find your VPN from the app list > Tap End Task .

And to disable the Windows firewall follow the steps below.

Here are the steps to disable the Windows firewall:

• Type Windows Defender Firewall in Settings and press Enter.
• Click Turn Windows Defender Firewall On or Off menu.
• Select Turn Off Windows Defender Firewall in both private and public networks.

This way, you can disable the Windows defender firewall and VPN. So the assignment will start working again.

Repairing your Office Application will remove the corrupted section of MS Teams. You can fix the office application using two options: Quick Repair or in-depth Online Repair.

Select the Quick Repair option first. If it doesn’t work, use the second one to solve your problem.

Here are the steps to Repair Office (OneNote) using Windows Settings:

• Open Windows Settings .
• Select the Office app.
• Click on Modify .
• Choose Quick Repair or Online Repair .

Alternatively, you can do the same thing through the Control Panel too.

Here are the steps to Repair Office (OneNote) using Control Panel:

• Open the Control Panel .
• Choose Large icons in the View By option.
• Select Programs and Features .
• Click Your Office software.
• Select Change .

After you repair the Office application, the unknown bugs and the corrupted section of the Teams application. This solution will resolve this issue when your Assignment Tab in the Teams application stops working for some system file corruption.

Can you set yourself assignments on Teams?

Yes, you can. But the best way is to work with your teammates and let them teach you the ropes.

How do I download assignments for Microsoft Teams?

To download your assignments from MS Teams, follow the steps: Go to the Main menu > File > Download As > Microsoft Teams Assignment > Choose the file > Press Download.

Why won’t Teams let me view assignments?

This can happen for reasons like the assignment is still in progress, you don’t have permissions, or server error. Ask your admin to provide access to view the assignment tab.

In short, the assignment tab of Windows Teams application can stop working for bugs in the application, corrupted files, or other system errors. To solve this problem, try clearing the cache file, updating the application, and disabling the firewall.

If the above solutions don’t work, ask your teacher or admin to grant you access to the Assignment tab.

After applying the above fixes, I’m sure you can now quickly fix Assignments Tab not working on Microsoft Teams issue.

Reading Progress: Now available in Microsoft Teams

Screenshot of the Reading Progress teacher review experience

Reading fluency is an essential part of any student curriculum, and recognizing the learning gap that the pandemic has created, it’s especially important that each student gets the chance to build their reading skills and increase their confidence in turn. 

That’s the idea behind Reading Progress , the new app available in Microsoft Teams that enables students to independently read aloud, record themselves, and grow their reading skills while allowing educators to better support students’ progression. Students share the audio or video recordings of themselves with their teachers who can then track the progress, provide feedback, and discover trends and opportunities for student growth.

Here’s a quick look at how Reading Progress works: 

1. Create tailored assignments to boost reading comprehension

Students benefit from educators’ ability to upload single or multiple assignments that are easily accessible and can be customized for a particular student’s reading level and progress. Students can also read at their own pace and in a comfortable setting, removing any stigma, stress, or distraction associated with reading out loud. This helps students further develop their reading fluency and skills at their own pace. This personalized learning and targeted support helps ensure that all students’ performance and progress is monitored, prioritized, and encouraged.

2. Read, record, review, repeat

With Immersive Reader technology in Teams, students can adjust page settings, such as format and font size, to tailor their Reading Progress experience based on their preferences. From there, students can record themselves reading aloud on either audio and/or video. Once submitted, teachers can review the recorded assignment and provide feedback at their own convenience.

3. Unlock insights and track progress with this immersive reader

The app has streamlined a typically time-intensive process by seamlessly integrating with Teams’ Education Insights dashboard. Teachers can use the auto-detect feature to quickly review errors such as mispronunciations, repetitions, phrasing, intonation, and omissions, and can use them to customize instruction for each student. For example, educators can change the pronunciation sensitivity levels to account for different speech patterns and accents. They can also override any inaccuracies the auto-detect feature may have highlighted as they listen to a recording. 

Get started with Reading Progress today

By empowering students to complete their reading assignments independently, Reading Progress keeps the focus on practice and growth. Discover more tips and advice on how to utilize the app, and download Teams to get started.

Trump Has Been Convicted. Here’s What Happens Next.

Donald J. Trump has promised to appeal, but he may face limits on his ability to travel and to vote as he campaigns for the White House.

• Share full article

By Jesse McKinley and Maggie Astor

• May 30, 2024

The conviction of former President Donald J. Trump on Thursday is just the latest step in his legal odyssey in New York’s court system. The judge, Juan M. Merchan, set Mr. Trump’s sentencing for July 11, at which point he could be sentenced to as much as four years behind bars, or to probation.

It won’t stop him from running for president, though: There is no legal prohibition on felons doing that . No constitutional provision would stop him even from serving as president from a prison cell, though in practice that would trigger a crisis that courts would almost certainly have to resolve.

His ability to vote — for himself, presumably — depends on whether he is sentenced to prison. Florida, where he is registered, requires felons convicted there to complete their full sentence, including parole or probation, before regaining voting rights. But when Floridians are convicted in another state, Florida defers to the laws of that state, and New York disenfranchises felons only while they are in prison.

The Trump Manhattan Criminal Verdict, Count By Count

Former President Donald J. Trump faced 34 felony charges of falsifying business records, related to the reimbursement of hush money paid to the porn star Stormy Daniels in order to cover up a sex scandal around the 2016 presidential election.

“Because Florida recognizes voting rights restoration in the state of conviction, and because New York’s law states that those with a felony conviction do not lose their right to vote unless they are incarcerated during the election, then Trump will not lose his right to vote in this case unless he is in prison on Election Day,” said Blair Bowie, a lawyer at the Campaign Legal Center, a nonprofit watchdog group.

Mr. Trump will almost certainly appeal his conviction, after months of criticizing the case and attacking the Manhattan district attorney, who brought it, and Justice Merchan, who presided over his trial.

Long before that appeal is heard, however, Mr. Trump will be enmeshed in the gears of the criminal justice system.

A pre-sentencing report makes recommendations based on the defendant’s criminal record — Mr. Trump had none before this case — as well as his personal history and the crime itself. The former president was found guilty of falsifying business records in relation to a $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels, a porn star who says she had a brief sexual tryst with Mr. Trump in 2006, in order to buy her silence.

At the pre-sentence interview, a psychologist or social worker working for the probation department may also talk to Mr. Trump, during which time the defendant can “try to make a good impression and explain why he or she deserves a lighter punishment,” according to the New York State Unified Court System.

The pre-sentencing report can also include submissions from the defense, and may describe whether “the defendant is in a counseling program or has a steady job.”

In Mr. Trump’s case, of course, he is applying — as it were — for a steady job as president of the United States, a campaign that may be complicated by his new status as a felon. Mr. Trump will likely be required to regularly report to a probation officer, and rules on travel could be imposed.

Mr. Trump was convicted of 34 Class E felonies, New York’s lowest level , each of which carry a potential penalty of up to four years in prison. Probation or home confinement are other possibilities that Justice Merchan can consider.

That said, Justice Merchan has indicated in the past that he takes white-collar crime seriously . If he did impose prison time, he would likely impose the punishment concurrently, meaning that Mr. Trump would serve time on each of the counts he was convicted of simultaneously.

If Mr. Trump were instead sentenced to probation, he could still be jailed if he were later found to have committed additional crimes. Mr. Trump, 77, currently faces three other criminal cases: two federal, dealing with his handling of classified documents and his efforts to overturn the 2020 election , and a state case in Georgia that concerns election interference.

Mr. Trump’s lawyers can file a notice of appeal after sentencing, scheduled for July 11 at 10 a.m. And the judge could stay any punishment during an appeal, something that could delay punishment beyond Election Day.

The proceedings will continue even if he wins: Because it’s a state case, not federal, Mr. Trump would have no power as president to pardon himself .

Where can I, as a student, see my assignments on the mobile app?

Since the last update I cannot see my assignments anymore on the mobile Teams app (IOS). The tab is gone, they are nowhere to be found. The tabs on the bottom are rearranged (includes "calls" tab) and I can't find the option for assignments, even if I click on "more"

Dear Helene Radlgruber,

Good day. Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community.

As per your description, when you update the Teams to the latest version, some buttons you can’t find anymore.

I’m sorry it brought a lot of inconvenience for you. To narrow down the issue, could you provide me something below?

May I know if you classmates who use the same device have the same issue?

May I know do you use this device to find these features by logging in to the web version of Team?

Let's work together to solve this issue. Thank you for your time and patience.
