Stop Microsoft Teams from starting automatically
In this post, we will show you how to stop Microsoft Teams from opening automatically on startup using Registry Editor, Teams settings, Task Manager or Windows 11/10 Settings.
1] Using the Registry Editor
Open the Registry Editor and navigate to the following location: Delete the DWORD entry for com.squirrel.Teams.Teams. Exit the Registry Editor. Reboot your computer to see changes taking effect.
2] Using Teams settings
From our experience, getting Microsoft Teams to no longer launch after a reboot is now straightforward. There are multiple ways to get it done, but the best way is via Teams Settings as follows: You have other ways to disable this startup item, as well.
3] Via Windows Settings
Another way to get the job done is to open the Settings app by clicking on the Windows key + I. Once that is done, navigate to Apps > Startup. From the list of apps under Startup, look for Microsoft Teams and toggle the slide button to disable auto-start for this program. Restart and check if the app is auto-starting as per usual or not.
4] Via Task Manager
If you prefer to play around with the Task Manager, then this option is just as good. Simply launch the tool, then click on More Details. From there, select the Startup tab at the top, then look for Microsoft Teams in the list of apps. Right-click on Teams, then click on Disable to get the job done. After restarting your computer, Microsoft Teams should no longer auto-start with Windows 11/10 unless the changes are reversed. I hope this tip helps you.
