Stop Microsoft Teams from running in the background

With Microsoft Teams, the app runs in the background once it is launched after logging into Windows 10 (or other supported operating systems). If you try to close the app, it continues to run in the background and is minimized to the notification area of the taskbar.

If you don't need Teams to be running all the time, or if you prefer to close the app completely when you click the X button, you'll need to adjust the settings manually.

This guide will show you how to disable the option that keeps Teams running in the background after closing it in Windows 10.
