Allow Teams application start minimized
Hi,
If you check in settings you have the option "Open application in background", that will start Teams but it will only run in the background and not as open window when the computer starts. Test that setting.
There is also a uservoice requesting this setting to be configured globaly.
Yes, the setting is there, but it does not do anything. I have tried uncheckin and checking it again, but Teams still opens up in a window, not minimized, after a restart. Any ideas for how to fix this? LinusCansby
mstendah You could try clearing cache and/or reinstall Teams from your computer.

LinusCansby Running Microsoft Teams Version 1.3.00.21759 (64-bit). I've got the same problem (application launches full screen every time even with "open in background" setting checked). Cleared the Teams cache and no change
- Start Teams with this parameter:
Update.exe --processStart "Teams.exe" --process-start-args "--system-initiated"
or in the registry:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"com.squirrel.Teams.Teams"="C:\\Users\\xxxx\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\Teams\\Update.exe --processStart \"Teams.exe\" --process-start-args \"--system-initiated\""- Thank you, that did it for me. I had to use the command line to disable media keys as well.
