Why is it that when I start up Teams it automatically opens up my Chats first?

I have my Microsoft Teams set to open up automatically when my computer starts, however, whenever it starts up the 'Chat' tab is always showing first. How can I make it so that the 'Teams' tab is what's shown when it first opens up. This is ever since switching to the new version.

Thanks!

    Yes, I am also a Windows user and there is no Applications section in General settings. This annoying-as-hell issue needs to be corrected. One would think it would be a simple fix.

    Original poster here! No, the issue hasn't been resolved yet :(

    I followed the steps the Microsoft agent gave but they weren't right for me.. Teams still opens up in Chat. It's pretty much the worst tab for Teams to open up in. Any other tab would be fine.

    I'm having the same issue. I cannot locate any area which allows me to change this setting. Very disappointed in the "new" teams.

    Uncheck the box that says "Register the new teams as the chat app for Microsoft 365 (requires restarting Microsoft 365 applications)"

    This seems to have worked for me, it no longer opens to the "Chat" screen by default.
