I can't believe that the Microsoft Teams software automatically reinstalls itself in my login items every time I open it. I don't use it often — mostly when I have calls with people at Microsoft — but this happens without fail every time.

As far as I'm concerned, this makes the Teams software malware. I have never had any other software that repeatedly put itself into my login items that wasn't clearly malware. If I worked on Teams, I would be embarrassed.




Google Chrome’s update software does this on Mac, every time it launches it tries to reinstall its auto starting updater. Adobe does this as well.


Is it at all possible Teams is coming back due to a company group policy?


It’s a personal computer.
