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).

Thank you! Also, thank you for saving me the time of reading thousands of useless words and just providing the solution in simple and easy to follow steps. I prefer writing back a comment than reading filler words.
