GPO to stop Teams loading at login needed.

[IT_Man_Dan]

Morning all,

 

I'm running Office 365 on Win 10 pc's and am trying to stop Teams launching for everyone at login.

 

So far I have tried the following GPO's:

 

User config - policies - administrative templates - Microsoft Teams - Prevent Teams from starting automatically after installation.

Doesn't work for me, I believe I may have needed to set this prior to installing Office 365 sitewide?!

 

Computer config - Preferences - Windows settings - Registry - Delete com.squirrel.Teams.Teams from Hkey_current_user software\Microsoft\Windows\Current

Version\Run

Didn't work, I don't think the key is there in the first place...

 

Only way I've succeeded is per user by disabling Teams from startup in task manager...

 

I need a site wide fix

 

Any advice gratefully received.

 

Thanks

We seem to have solved it by adding a second reg key to our GPO...

Also, as a side note ... the reg key you've already got is in HKCU, but you're doing it in the computer config section ... doesn't it need to be in the user section (thats where we do it, using GPO loopback processing to apply user settings to a computer targeted GPO) ?
