How to stop TeamViewer from starting Automatically

By Christian 18/01/201921/05/2020

Here, this is a bit different from stopping programs in MacOS from running automatically as shown here. https://techdirectarchive.com/2019/01/15/how-to-stop-a-program-from-starting-up-automatically-on-macos/

Here i am running TeamViewer 14.1.3399 as at the time of this writing. Here is the steps to disable TeamViewer from running automatically upon System startup or restart.

- Launch TeamViewer
- Under Unattended Access
- Uncheck 'Start TeamViewer with System'

Next, a pop up windows appears, where you are asked to disable start with system. After this step is performed, TeamViewer will restart itself.

That is all you need to configure 🙂

Doesn’t work (May 2020). There it says I need administrator, running TV with Admin from Windows menu doesn’t help either. Uninstalled this buggy software (“if a feature can’t be disabled, it’s to be considered a bug”).

I do not fully understand or have comprehensive knowledge of the steps you are trying to describe.
– Do you mean you need Administrator access to disable it from starting automatically?

If this is the case, I can see you are having trouble with your windows PC, ensure you are a member of the Administrators group that can administer this specific device.

Thank you!

The most important question is, “Why is Team Viewer running in the first place?” Is there a downside to turning it off?

Hello RedGaron,

I cannot answer your first question because i do not know the reason it was installed in the first place. Check this link out for more information on TeamViewer https://www.teamviewer.com/en/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=de%7Cb%7Cpr%7C19%7Csep%7Cbroad-brand-only-sn%7Cfree%7Ct0%7C0&utm_content=broad_brand-only_missspellings&utm_term=%2Bteam.viewer&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI0r64ybSg6wIVCM93Ch3i2Q2uEAAYASAAEgJRzPD_BwE

Basic explanation: Just like every other third-party program, there is NO downside in disabling it (you cqn disable it if you do not want it to keep starting up whenever you start your device).
