Some Office 365 subscriptions automatically install Microsoft Teams along with the rest of Microsoft Office. The commands automatically open when you start up after installation. However, you can stop it by turning off the Launch command panel.

Regardless of whether you use Teams or not, you can now disable the startup tool without entering the command. Find the purple Microsoft Teams icon in the notification area or in the taskbar. Right-click it and select “Settings”> “Do not start commands automatically”. Then you can right-click the icon again and select “Exit”. You should not see the commands again until you start them yourself.

If you can’t see the icon, you may have to click the up arrow to the left of the icons in the taskbar to view other icons. The icon will appear here while Microsoft Teams is running.

Why does Microsoft Teams open on Startup?

When you get a subscription to Office 365, you will find that the package installs Microsoft Teams by default. As soon as it does, the application will start automatically at startup. However, not all Windows 10 users need this feature. If so, you can learn how to prevent Microsoft Teams from running automatically at startup.

If you do not need to use Microsoft Teams, you can easily disable this feature. If you want to learn how to prevent Teams from automatically starting in Windows 10, you can choose one of the following ways.

Disable using the Teams App

You can see the settings in Microsoft Teams and see if it helps:

• Run Microsoft Teams.
• Click the profile icon in the upper right corner, then click Options.
• Scroll down and uncheck the Automatically launch the application checkbox.

You can also check the boxes for “Open the application in the background” and “Continue running the application when it closes”. With these options, the application will stop working after you close it. If this option is disabled, closing the application will close and restart each time. This is a great option to check if you have any problems with messaging or other command problems. Every time you run it, it will restart.

Through the task bar

• If Microsoft Teams is installed on your device, you should see a purple icon in the taskbar or in the notification area. Note: if you don’t see the icon, you may need to click the up arrow in the taskbar to view additional options.
• Right-click the icon and select Settings.
• Click on the “Do not run commands automatically” option.
• Right-click the Microsoft Teams icon again and select Exit.

After performing these actions, Microsoft Teams will no longer be launched automatically at startup.

Stop from the Task Manager

If you change the setting in Microsoft Teams, an application usually does not start automatically. However, if you still have to worry every time you start your computer, there are ways to reduce the pain. Just visit Task Manager to manage the programs you are running.

To do this press CTRL + ALT + ESC on your keyboard at the same time. When you start the Task Manager, be sure to click on the Start application. You should see the list of programs. Find the Microsoft commands. When you see it, right-click it and select “Disable”. This will prevent the commands from running on your PC when you log on.
