No, I still want it to start with Windows. Imjust don't want it in the frequent app list. Even on a domain, if you uncheck that option box or disable it within the Startup tab in Task Manager , that should suffice. Unless a newer version is pushed out via SCCM or something similar , it would be exceedingly rare to override the end-user's preferences. Yea, not sure what accounts for the week gap before the persistence was enabled again. More likely a patch or something.

Run Skype for Business. Check this to have the app start automatically. Uncheck this to prevent the app from starting automatically. Click OK. I tried it and the suggestion worked.

I have no such account, and setting those flags does not work. The solution that says to remove it from the Startup list does not work because it is not in the startup list. I suspect it is started from somewhere else, or some other application such as Office. The last suggestion of actually killing Skype for Business from the task manager has actually succeeded. As my Skype for Business was already in the state that Theo moved to it solved my problem.
