I have a laptop running Windows 11 and the Microsoft Teams setup windows keeps coming back....I have it disabled in the startup and even uninstalled it...I searched the registry and deleted a folder for it...But no matter what I do its back...Its like malware or a PUP (potentially unwanted program)....What can I do? This is like the program from Hell
Remove it at ISO level, before install of OS. Never let any of this piss near ones system in first place
Copy / paste to console, should kill it Code: >nul 2>&1 taskkill /F /IM "Teams.exe" >nul 2>&1 taskkill /F /IM "MSTeams.exe" >nul 2>&1 taskkill /F /IM "Update.exe" >nul 2>&1 taskkill /F /IM "Squirrel.exe" >nul 2>&1 taskkill /F /IM "MSTeamsUpdate.exe" >nul 2>&1 reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\Teams" /f /v PreventInstallationFromMsi /t REG_DWORD /d 1 >nul 2>&1 reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\OfficeUpdate" /f /v PreventTeamsInstall /t REG_DWORD /d 1 >nul 2>&1 reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Communications" /f /v ConfigureChatAutoInstall /t REG_DWORD /d 0 >nul 2>&1 reg add "HKCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppModel\SystemAppData\MicrosoftTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe\TeamsStartupTask" /f /v "State" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" And for advanced way, use nsudo for that. look here for Teams path. Code: %ProgramFiles%\WindowsApps replace teams folder with file name, with same name as the folder kill the folder before, default name is ... Code: "%ProgramFiles%\WindowsApps\MicrosoftTeams_21253.510.996.1465_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe" Also you can look here. Code: "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Teams" "%ProgramData%\%USERNAME%\Microsoft\Teams" search for file name update.exe, start with args Code: --uninstall --force-uninstall --system-level
is this consider over kill ? even by 1 million chance it will re-install, a file name exist in under the same name, so the setup will fail.
