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!

    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.

    A suggestion to MS - use the Apps order in the left column to determine the startup window behavior.

    A few months ago I learned that you could alter the order of items in the (left) Apps column. Since I was always starting in Chat (and Chat was the top app) and wanted to start in Calls, I clicked and dragged Calls to the top of the Apps list - thinking this may influence the starting window behavior. No go. It still starts in Chat.

    By-the-way, in my case, the apps order in the left column always appears as I had set it.

    It is curious that various contributors to this thread have different startup windows.
