Hello,

I've switched to new Teams and they work great. However, every time I start Teams I get this message:

I don't want to switch back. Can I disable this message so I don't see it every time I start MS Teams?

Found the solution.

Teams have to be started using Microsoft Teams (Work Preview) entry from Start Menu, not the old one.

    This very long and detailed answer completely ignored the original question. I have the same question and it doesn't help me to read through irrelevant answers.

    I had the same problem and toggled the New Teams button off and then back on. It switched to a new window and gave me a new icon in the taskbar. I pinned it to the taskbar and removed the old icon.

    See if that helps you!

    Nah, I think I'm gonna keep sending feedback the way I choose to.

    So, let me see if I get this correctly:

    1. Microsoft encourages us to try new versions of things (which we are probably going to anyway at some point in the timeline, whether we want to or not).
    2. Microsoft codes in a nag screen into that new software that bugs us about switching back to the old version EVERY TIME WE OPEN THE WINDOW (not even "every time we start the program"- nope, every time I open the window, I'm PUNISHED for trying something new).
    3. Profit?

    Intentionally bad design or gross negligence? Take your pick I guess?

    Thank you for the brevity unlike some other responses in here.
