If you want an alternative to this, simply have a startup script that deletes the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\TeamsMachineInstaller
Obviously this is if you installed Teams with the Machine-Wide Installer, which is the way many companies deploy it to the computers so that all users that log in have Teams and not a per user install, thus if you have this registry key, this is what causes every user to launch Teams upon startup/login for them.
