How to Prevent Teams from Auto-Launch
Hi guys, I plan to deploy Teams in my company, and there's a headache. I don't want Teams auto launches when system starts, and when I install it, I use this script: msiexec /i "%temp%\Teams_w...

AFAIK, not currently possible. Whilst you can script it or have a user uncheck it in the settings it does not occur by default
There are multiple uservoices of disabling the start up option, such as this

There is one here to turn off autostart for the entire tenant which may be closer to what you need.

If these don't cover exactly what you need I would raise this as a new uservoice. To note however, it could be some time to get picked up and really, I think the general desire from organisations to use Teams is more to have autostart on by default rather than off
Hope that answers your question!

alenezi That only works if teams is installed. To test, uninstall it. It will install itself again and run. After that you can, of course, probably disable it in startup. The OP said "His Company" the assumption there is that he is IT and is looking for a solution that does not require all the users to know how to disable startup programs. I personally am quite annoyed at Teams startup spamming all my users at the same time. That was not cool, Microsoft.
There are new ADMX templates for this!! Thanks Microsoft.. 🙂
