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!

Hello,
I found the fix by mistake,
In my case, not all users migrated to Teams, some of them just use it for external invites.
For this users, that use S4B for all, meetings or IM; the status in Outlook was taken by Teams, leading to confusion to many of them. They were not busy or meeting when they really were.
The Option in the cloud with that option centralized is missing, I hope it comes soon:)
The only thing I did was create a new User config GPO updating the registry key:
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\IM Providers DefaultIMApp=lync
But if you would type "Lync" with L capital, as I found if different posts ,it wont work ;( Teams will overwrite the value to "Teams" every time.
With this workaround, the options in Teams settings: "Auto-start" and "Use Teams as default app.." are not making any difference to the registry. I cannot explain it but It works.
regards
