Hi Everyone,

 

I actually figured this out using some diff tools to look for changes in the OS as I toggled the "Auto-start Teams" option in the new Teams client. You can set the value of the following registry value via GPO to enforce or disable auto-start at logon:

 

Key: HKCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppModel\SystemAppData\MSTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe\TeamsTfwStartupTask

 

Value: "State"

 

Data: 2 (enable) | 1 (disable)
