Now, this can be useful to some users, while others may not be fond of it even if they use it. Nonetheless, you can disable this so that Microsoft Teams does not open up when the operating system boots up. There are various ways you can do this. You can do it through the settings of the Teams application icon on the taskbar. In addition, the same result can be achieved from the Task Manager or the Windows startup settings window. We will be going through all of these options so you can choose whatever you find easy and quick. There are some cases where you are not able to prevent it from launching on startup. This is because there is a registry key made for Microsoft Teams by the developers that control this feature. Therefore, in order to overcome that, you will have to delete that specific key in the Windows Registry window. With that said, let us start with the different methods that are available to you.
Method 1: From the System Tray
The first and easiest way that you can actually stop Microsoft Teams from launching at startup is via the Microsoft Teams icon on the system tray. When the application launches, an icon of the application appears on the taskbar. This can be seen if you have the application running right now. Thus, you can go through the settings option that pops up when you right-click on the icon and disable the option that starts it on boot up. Follow the step-by-step instructions down below to do this:
Method 2: From the Task Manager
Another way that you can stop the Teams application from launching at startup is from the Task Manager. The Task Manager has a startup tab that lets you see what applications will launch during startup. You can disable any applications that you want as well as change the impact of that application on startup. Follow the instructions down below to disable Microsoft Teams on startup:
Method 3: From Windows Settings
As it turns out, you can also change the startup applications through the Windows Settings window. This is rather simple to do and it requires just a few clicks.

Method 4: Deleting Registry Key
In some cases, you cannot disable the Microsoft Teams using the normal steps that you would take to prevent any other application from starting up at startup. This is because Microsoft Teams has a registry key that controls the startup behavior of the application. Therefore, in order to disable the startup feature of the application, you will have to delete the registry key inside the Windows Registry. Please make sure that you do this if the above methods do not achieve the desired result for you. This is because messing with the Windows Registry is not really recommended if you do not know what you are doing. If you are going to proceed, please make sure you follow each and every step carefully. With that said, let us begin:
