    There is any way to prevent Microsoft Teams App to automatically install during first Internet connection (I know that I can uninstall it, or disable it to run at startup, or simply ignore it)?

    I use a custom image with Sysprep. The
    I use a high customized image with sysprep. During sysprep the OS remove most of the UWP apps (too many, to tell the truth… eg I need to re-enable Windows Security UI and Microsoft Store with an automated script during first starup). Microsoft Teams is removed, but during first connection it installs again.
    I need a way to deny it.
    If I correctly understand, your command don't deny the installation, but hide the icon app only.
    If you have a command for my needs, I can add it to my script and test it.

    it remove Chat, Widget from system Level.
    Also remove teams --> [ Teams == Chat ].
    and in case of UUP version installed, prevent it from Reinstall itself.

    I've being trying to prevent Microsoft Teams auto installation too with no lucky.
    just tried this xd file and didn't work :(

    VirtualBox
    fresh install build 22000.258 with LAN disconnected
    executed "xd.cmd" and Chat Icon gets removed (and other stuff from script)
    restarted, enabled Lan connection...
    Microsoft Teams Gets Installed

    so annoying...

    does it worked for you @alessio89g ?

    The problem is prevent Teams from installing automatically, not uninstall it.

    Ok, I'll try the new script soon.
    One more thing: when I runned the first script, it also removed Teams Win32 app installed with Office 2021. I would like to keep it; how can I edit the script in order to do it?
