rwrusselljr I agree. I should be in control of my phone. The way smartphones are now, they are the most advanced tracking device ever made.

I want to shut down MS Teams because the only reason I use it is for the occasional scheduled teams call over the weekend when not in the office. Otherwise, I do not want it on, or enabled in the background. I don't care about the other services that Teams enables (sharing, etc.) because I am one of those crazy people that doesn't want to be connected to the office 24/7. I don't do any work over the weekend, unless pre-arranged.

Bring back the option to force shut it off, then keep it off. For most people, they'll keep it running. For the few that know what they are doing, they force shut it off for a reason. Respect that.
