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!
Best, Chris

That's fine for individuals, but when you manage over eight THOUSAND computers, that's not really an option. And if all eight thousand are ALWAYS connected to teams, an organization can run out of bandwidth pretty quickly, especially if they all have cameras. Think before you decide what the "Best" solution is.
