do you want to remove this app or only app icon from taskbar. both case are very easy ask zucrin a mdl professional at w11 tweaking he will help you with it.
ccleaner gets rid of it or iobit uninstaller if ya dont want to mess with the registry or just turn it off
you need to remove it as component, it can be done by editing iso. wait for removal support from tools like ntlite
Find it ...... Remove teams LOL ( Re Install My VM For you ) Code: echo == Hide Chat REG ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" /f /v TaskbarMn /t REG_DWORD /d 0
I have now test installed Windows 11 Home x64 (English) in a VM and run your tweaks "Remove Teams" via admin and Chat is still there (in Settings). According to the PowerShell output "Get-AppxPackage", MicrosoftTeams is not yet installed during a fresh installation of Windows 11, and MicrosoftTeams is not installed until an internet connection is established.
I have completely removed Widgets with MSMG ToolKit v11.8 https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/msmg-toolkit.50572/ @MSMG Hello developers of MSMG ToolKit, can you add by default in your tool the built-in Chat app in Windows 11, so that it is completely removed in Settings and that it is not reinstalled even through an internet connection, for example after a fresh installtion of Windows 11 e.g. by Microsoft Teams?
It's not matter if it show in settings Click on chat icon, and See, nothing happen And before, it show gui interface And you can hide chat icon via registry hack So it basically called -- removed And it permanently remove uup team app ( Echo.>directory folder name, so it cannot create same folder again )
And now to the opposite problem: How to get the chat app back? Someone removed it on our Windows 11 test system with whatever method including teams. Binging the chat icon back on the taskbar does only that. It's on the taskbar now, you can click it and nothing happens. Reinstalling teams doesn't change a thing. How to fix the broken chat app?
Open Local Group Policy Editor Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Chat -> Configures the Chat icon on the taskbar -> Set state to disabled This will remove the chat option including slider all together.
Thanks for the suggestions, but the chat app remains broken. Running the DISM command DID let the chat window open ONCE for a short time with the message that chat is preparing setup. This brought back Teams for home (with the white T) but it wont open. The chat symbol changes from the camera to the three dots and that's it. Interestingly Teams won't start directly either, except as admin!?
That was my next step. I installed Teams (for home) from the link above, and was asked if I want to reinstall, because Teams is already installed. Reinstall brought no change. edit: In the end I set teams to "always run as admin", afterwards chat did it's setup spiel and everything worked as intended. Admin run was then removed and it still works fine.
