How to PERMANENTLY disable Handsfree Telephony for a bluetooth device in Windows 11?

I need to disable Handsfree Telephony to make my Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones work in MS Teams (as resolved in this thread).

But, the setting keeps being enabled again - possibly during reboot or bluetooth re-connection.

Is there a way to PERMANENTLY disable the setting for this device?

Aside: I'm open to a fix in powershell if anyone knows the API calls for toggling the setting based on BT connection trigger.

    Same issue. As soon as I restart my PC, I have to do this method every time.

    Is there a fix for this? Way to disable handsfree telephony all together permanently?
