Windows 11 and "Teams for Home or Small Business" (How to never get it installed on a business PC)
I can't find any official documentation on how to avoid the "Teams for Home or Small Business" to get installed on a business computer. I guess no business would like to have the consumer app installed and rather to have only the 'Teams for Work or School' on those PC's
1: How to be able to upgrade Win10 -> Win11 and make sure the "Teams for Home or Small Business" never ever get installed?
2: How to make sure the "Teams for Home or Small Business" is never installed on a clean Windows 11 (is it bundled with the OS itself)?
This should be really simple to achieve one would hope for 🙂

Hi,
Even I would be interested to understand if there is a option too. Unfortunately Microsoft Teams for Home is bundled in the OS itself hence we aren't seeing the option to uninstall the app from the Programs and Features. Irrespective whether you upgrade from Windows10 to Windows11 or do a fresh install of Windows11.ChrisWebb StevenC365 Any thoughts around this one?

RealTime_M365 It definitely is an app that can be uninstalled either from the UI, or you could trigger PowerShell to uninstall it with
Get-AppxPackage MicrosoftTeams* | Remove-AppxPackage- Some actions trigger the download as MS mention
"The default Windows image doesn't include the Teams app."

Would be great to understand that can trigger this download 🙂
