How to disable Microsoft Teams from starting at start up

Question

When I turn on my laptop, an MS App "Microsoft Teams" starts with other applications. I found that "Microsoft Teams" slows down other applications and hence my laptop takes several minutes to boot.

I want to disable "Microsoft Teams" at the start up. How can I do that?
