We use Citrix and Windows 11 in our work environment. I keep Teams open in Citrix so that I can copy links from the browser into the chat. The links then show the title for the link, I like that functionality. I also have it open on my Laptop as well (Windows 11) for doing calls and meetings. Our Citrix is slow, so I don’t do calls there. Fun thing is that often when I get a call in Teams it is automatically picked up on my laptop without me accepting it.. It is “auto-answer” functionality I tell the colleagues who don’t understand how it is possible that I pick up in 50 milliseconds :-). It is caused by Teams being open in 2 places. Weird.. Another weird issue I have with the 2 Teams instances being open is that when I get dragged into a group call and I answer, I’m in the call for 2 seconds and then the call gets disconnected. Then they try to call me again, I get disconnected again. Then I have to kill the Teams instance in Citrix to make it possible for them to add me to the call.. Another weird issue is that sometimes when I’m in a group call on my laptop and I try to look something up in my Citrix instance of Teams or even click in a chat thread, my call gets disconnected on the laptop..

Your technical work environment sounds horrible to me. Windows + Citrix is enough to send me screaming. Kudos that you pull through like that.
