There are a couple of UserVoice request you can vote on, this is one of them:

How about using Teams on the web if you don't want the Teams app to auto-start?

We've create a group policy (in user context) to remove de com.squirrel.Teams.Teams key from the current user section. It should apply to the use that is logging in. But Teams keeps starting.
I manually deleted the key. Logged off en back in. Teams started again, so I went in Regedit again. And.... the key was back! So what triggers the key to get created again?
