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.

    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!

    Sorry for the inconvenience:)

    I forgot to mention that currently there is no option to remove it. Microsoft is still working on this version, so some features aren’t available yet.

    Also, I would suggest sending feedback through the new Teams, select Help >Give feedback and follow the prompts.

    Hope it will be released as soon as possible. Thank you!

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

    Actually just removing shortcut to Teams from the Startup folder fixes the problem. That shortcut directs you to the old Teams app which prompts the question because you already have the new Teams up installed. The new Teams app has an auto-start feature that will start the app up so the shortcut in the Startup folder is completely unnecessary. Have done install by Microsoft.
