Although we use Microsoft Teams every day we might not want to run it on startup. Currently there isn’t an option to disable it in the App Setting.
The quickest way is to use Task Manager > Start-up, then select Update.exe and Disable:
We can also enable it back in the same tab:
The alternative is to use Command Prompt to disable it by modifying it’s registry key:
reg add HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerStartupApprovedStartupFolder /v “Microsoft Teams.lnk” /t REG_BINARY /d 030000000000000000000000 /f
If you later want to enable it again we can use the following cmdlet:
reg add HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerStartupApprovedStartupFolder /v “Microsoft Teams.lnk” /t REG_BINARY /d 020000000000000000000000 /f
