Hi,

I'm new at a company which has office 365 but isn't using Lync. I was curious about what it's function is so I clicked on it in order to read about it. As far as I recall I didn't make a selection for it to launch but everytime I log in, it launches and it won't just exit the program if I hit the red "X."  I would like to get this "automatic launch" to stop and I can find nothing in documentation to make this happen.

Please advise.

Many thanks,

Deb

In the Lync client, click the little gear icon and navigate to Tools->Options->Personal. Uncheck the Automatically start Lync when I log into Windows box.

Lync automatically sets itself to start up once you open it for the first time. (it creates a reg key).

Anthony's solution will sort you out.

Hi Deb-E-B,

As Georg mentioned, it created a reg key.

To delete the reg key:

1. Navigate to HKCU\Software\Microsft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

2. Delete "Lync"

Best regards,

Eric
