Teams auto starts DESPITE disabling it

Hello, it's really not about being aggressive. I would say it's more about the code and how SSO and modern authentication works. But you should be able to control the autostart setting of course and you actually have these options within the Teams settings, the W10 app autostart setting and you can enter task manager and disable Teams. That should do it really. If not I would probably just use the online app if finding this being a problem.

Btw, I've never heard of BSOD caused by Teams and I have no idea what you're insinuating about the data and usage policies as you have so many options to adjust telemetry/diagnostics data over the entire suite. And they are actually very open about it as well.

Let me just add that I right now just disabled the autostart of Teams and it works like a charm, this was done from the Teams settings using two different laptops. One personal and one work computer.
