Teams nag screen

I've uninstalled Teams and turned off everything I could find (Chat icon on task bar, start-up entry, etc...), but still every time I start up my unsupported machine I get a nag dialogue to "Let's get you set up and ready to use Microsoft Teams". Teams is a great product on my business machine where I use it a lot, but I have no use for it on a personal machine.

Any ideas? Bueller?

In settings -> system -> notifications have you unchecked the box about offering you suggestions on how to set up your device?

Yup, those are unchecked.

Just curious as to why you uninstalled it. Did it consume that much space on your hard drive? I have it, but I disabled it from ever launching. That seems easier than getting constant nags about getting it that you might not be able to stop.

I uninstall most any app that I have no intention of using. Got a thing about bloatware.

Hi,
A more appropriate question is why is ms reinstalling teams

Seems every update brings it back like a freaking zombie lol

I've not seen the nag screen op say is showing up though
I use a local account.

I use a Microsoft account on all three of my devices plus in my VM's running Windows and I don't get a nag screen.

I made an account to +1 this. It's driving me slightly mad.

I thought I'd found where the nag is coming from but apparently not, as it's still here.

I use an MS account, disabled Teams in Settings, never set it up and I don't get any nag screens

Is it showing up in your startup?

I’m also using a Microsoft account and I’ve tried to kill the damn thing with hammers but it just won’t die.

I don’t want Teams on my htpc.

No, it’s completely uninstalled. Both parts. I’ve scanned the registry for references to it and as far as I can tell it’s gone.

I’m thinking the nag lives inside a dll. There’s no trace of it anywhere else.

It doesn’t appear in Task manager when it pops up either.

So I've done a little more digging and find this might be related to a service/process MS calls "Iris", but I've not found much more about it. Yet.

Yes I got that far too but I couldn’t remember the name of the service. It deals with notifications iirc.

This is useful


Method 3.3, method 5 (gpedit) and method 6 might be the most useful.

I’ll give it a go when I’ve got a moment.

Just to update this thread. Method 3.3 has so far, fixed this for me.

In case the info disappears here’s the setting you need to disable
