Hi,
If you check in settings you have the option "Open application in background", that will start Teams but it will only run in the background and not as open window when the computer starts. Test that setting.

"com.squirrel.Teams.Teams"="C:\\Users\\xxxx\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\Teams\\Update.exe --processStart \"Teams.exe\" --process-start-args \"--system-initiated\""- Thank you, that did it for me. I had to use the command line to disable media keys as well.
