How to stop Microsoft teams from starting up Windows 11

Microsoft has made numerous improvements to its new operating system, one of which is the full integration of Microsoft Teams. When you upgrade to Windows 11, the application is automatically installed and added to your Taskbar.

When you first install Windows 11, you’ll probably notice a new icon on your Taskbar — or, at the very least, if you haven’t used Microsoft’s Teams collaboration app in a while. When you move your cursor over the icon, which resembles a camera inside a cartoon speech balloon, it will say “Chat.” When you click on it, you’ll be prompted to “Meet and chat with friends and family” via Microsoft Teams.

If the pressure on Teams irritates you, there are several options. You can prevent Teams from automatically loading when you boot your machine. You have the option of removing the Chat icon from the Taskbar. If you really want to go all out, you can uninstall it.

Let’s take each of these one at a time.

STOP TEAMS FROM LOADING ON STARTUP

It’s incredibly simple to prevent Teams — or any other app you don’t need — from loading when your machine boots up. This not only speeds up the startup of your machine, but it also reserves memory on your PC for the things you really want to use.

  • Open the Settings app. There are several methods: you can click on your Start icon and select Settings from the pinned menu; or right-click the Start icon and select Settings; or type “Windows + i” on the keyboard.
  • Select Apps > Startup
  • Scroll down to “Microsoft Teams” and toggle it off. (The app may say “Microsoft Teams (Preview)” instead.)
Toggle Teams off so it won’t automatically startup.

By the way, while you’re in the Startup menu, look at some of the other apps that start up with your computer; there may be some you want to disable (for example, what if you don’t always want to run OneDrive?). Proceed with caution.

REMOVE TEAMS FROM YOUR TASKBAR

Even if you stop Teams from loading, you’ll still see the Teams Chat icon in your Taskbar. If you don’t intend to use it and want to free up space on your Taskbar for other apps, it’s easy to unpin it, though it’s not quite the same process as most of the other apps that are pinned there.

  • Right-click on the Taskbar and then click on “Taskbar settings”
  • Under Taskbar items, toggle off “Chat”

TAKE BACK CONTROL OF YOUR COMPUTER

You can prevent Microsoft Teams from using your system resources unnecessarily by following the steps outlined above. The app consumes over 200 MB of RAM simply by running in the background, and it begins as soon as your computer boots up. If you have 4-6 GB of memory, this may cause your computer to feel sluggish.

Furthermore, uninstalling Teams will also free up a small amount of storage on your computer.
