How to prevent Microsoft Teams from prompting the user to sign in at logon
We finally have a good deployment package for MS Teams at my work place. The only thing is that One will need to trigger the application after it is installed in order for the program to be registered/recognized by the computer.
That is fine, no problem there. Its a little clunky of a process but it at least installs and un-installs correctly. The problem is, after the program is registered, then when a user logs on the user is automatically prompted to login to Teams.
To correct this I removed the Teams program from the Startup folder in Task Manager. https://www.techrepublic.com/article/get-more-information-on-window-10s-startup-tab-by-enabling-additional-columns/
My question is, how can I force Teams not to start up automatically at login from a registry hack?

Hello..
As each autorun entry in the registry has its own value, you should be able to remove the pair by a GPO for that regsitry key mit a remove action.

This article will give you a solution so that Teams only auto-starts when the user has run Teams at least once previously

We use MicroFocus (Novell) at my work. We do not use GPO here.
Oof. You could simply use a logon script to check for the folder existence and then add the auto-start Registry value if it is there.

I do not believe my work place wants to run a script every time a user logs on. What would be the best way to automatically remove that settings or registyy key so Teams doe snot auto - launch at login?
I removed it by manually removing teams from task manager (start up tab) : Trigger Teams Installer for User After Machine Wide Installer - Systems Management Squad (sysmansquad.com)
maybe run a script after the install to delete that registry key?
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
com.squirrel.teams.teams

The only thing is that the Teams program will re-create this Regitry key after Teams is opened. If this command can be issued at login we are good.

To stop Teams from launching automatically, click on Start / Settings / Apps / Startup. Turn off Microsoft Teams

I can create a bundle that forces
To be launched at startup on a specific device. Unless I can find the registry equivalent for https://www.techrepublic.com/article/get-more-information-on-window-10s-startup-tab-by-enabling-additional-columns/

But how can I force it not to startup, the above way makes me manually delete the entry. If I force it to be blank then that will automatically stop all apps to auto start. I do not think we want that.

States to use GPO todelete this key:
ollowing is the registry key used in GPO:
Location: User configuration\Preferences\windows settings\registry
Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Key path: Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Value Name: com.squirrel.Teams.Teams
But we do not use Group Policy at my organization but how can we delete this key from that location so it does not execute? Or...
Force the sestting to not auto start.
