Prevent Teams from Launching at Startup

Modified on Thu, Oct 28, 2021 at 8:49 AM

By default, Microsoft Teams automatically opens when you log into your computer.  To prevent this, follow the steps below.


  • In the top-right corner of Teams, click the three dots icon next to your profile picture or initials, then click Settings.

  • In the Application section, UN-check the "Auto-start application" box.  The setting will save automatically, so you may close the Settings window and resume using Teams for chat, meetings, and other tasks.
