Comment on Windows 11 just lost 5% market share in two months despite Windows 10 losing support.

  I discovered that there’s a separate application which just reinstalls Teams all the time. I don’t remember the name, but it had Teams in the name. After I uninstalled that it finally stopped popping up.

    Apparently:

    This behavior is usually caused by two things:

    • A background installer from Microsoft Office called the Teams Machine-Wide Installer, which automatically reinstalls Teams for each user.
    • Windows 11’s built-in Chat feature, which is powered by Teams and may reinstall the app during updates or restarts.

    It’s called something like Teams System-Wide Installer, at least it used to be. Who knows, now. It is now a hidden app that won’t show under programs and features. I had to figure that shit out at work cause originally it only installed per user and my work wanted our users to start using it and make sure they didn’t need to go looking for it. Once it got bundled with the Office install I no longer had to care!
