Runs at log-in setting in Apps > Installed apps

 

... Oh wait ... this is interesting. I went to uninstall it on my laptop and I discovered there are actually two apps: Microsoft Teams and Microsoft Teams (personal). I noticed that the "Runs at log-in" setting was disabled in the former, but not the latter. I disabled it on the "personal" app and I don't know if this is the solution, but I'm posting in case this will help someone else.
