Launch on startup setting reenabling itself on Mac

Same here.

Bump topic.

Anyone know the solution to this problem?

I agree. No big deal, but very annoying :/ TeamViewer releases updates that don't fix the problem. As if nothing had happened.

I've done it once before. I can try again.

I still have the same problem. Have reinstalled as recommended.

In brief:

I fixed the problem by accident - I used CCleaner.

Long story:

I used CCleaner, I wanted to "clean up" the disk, but by the way I clicked on: "Autostart optimization". For some unknown reason, Teamviewer is triple on the application list. Having the following options: deactivate and delete. Deactivate did not work with Teamviewer, so I removed all 3 Teamviewer exeplars not knowing what would happen, e.g. new problems with the program 😉. Finally, Teamviewer works, but it doesn't start up unwanted at startup.

Maybe someone knows why only ccleaner "saw" Teamviewer in the Autostart triple, and system applications did not see at all?

I am posting because a few days ago TeamViewer started to launch on startup.

Maybe it is related to some system update, I don't know.

Anyway I uninstalled CCleaner in the meantime. It's not very convenient to use a regular external program to kill the startup process.

I also updated TeamViewer to the latest version hoping to fix the bug. It did not help.

Greetings, I am counting on help.

@JeanK I confirm, your advice worked.

One of our Mac users reported this same issue and tried the three plist commands. The first command returned "file does not exist", but the other two commands worked. On reboot, TeamViewer did not auto start.

I tried the following solution suggested by ' JeanK Community Manager' but it didn't work:

Hello @MatPac,

Thank you for helping us in our investigation.

According to our dev team, there seem to be entries that prevent TeamViewer from running successfully.

Our advice is to run the following commands.

sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Delete :com.teamviewer.service" /var/db/com.apple.xpc.launchd/disabled.plist

sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Delete :com.teamviewer.desktop" /var/db/com.apple.xpc.launchd/disabled.$(id -u).plist

sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Delete :com.teamviewer.teamviewer" /var/db/com.apple.xpc.launchd/disabled.$(id -u).plist

After running these commands, restart your Mac. TeamViewer should start/not start as expected now.

Can you confirm?

I am running Teamviewer remote Version: 15.54.6 and there is no option in the Preferences to stop the app from running upon computer startup or reboot. This is maddening. The users only options are to keep it always running or completely uninstall it. I do think the app works well otherwise but this is a slap in the face to not allow a user to control whether the app automatically launches at startup.

Look at the mess of startup files in below screenshot.
