Microsoft Teams is a great communication tool for users across all platforms, but once you stop using it, the app starts to become annoying. When you’re not using Teams, many users have complained that Microsoft Teams keeps launching itself even after you close the app.
How to prevent Microsoft Teams from opening on startup in Windows 11, 10, and 7
The repetitive popping up of Teams is so annoying that the service sometimes takes over the active window of other apps. The issue seems to occur when Microsoft Teams is minimized, closed, or in the quick launch area, and in some cases it appears when a user is entering credentials for a website in a browser.
If Microsoft Teams is popping up every now and then, it’s because the app is configured to run in the background, start automatically, or it hasn’t been removed entirely.
