Disable Cisco Webex Meetings auto-start

Solution 1:

The hits from Cisco on this did not work; the interface must have changed--can't find any preferences as they indicate.

The following link worked for me on MacOS:

Go to apple menu -> System Preferences then Users & Groups, pick your user then go to the Login Items tab, highlight the app and remove with the - button

The following link should work on Windows 10:

right-click in the taskbar, select "Task Manager", select the "Startup" tab; look for your application and click on "Enable" to disable it.

There may be other options available (see the linked web page).

Solution 2:

For Windows 7 (no 'Startup' tab in Task Manager as described in accepted W10 solution):

Remove the registry entry in HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run which points to ptoneclk.exe

Solution 3:

The "IT Administrator Guide for Mass Deployment of the CiscoWebex WBS39.10 and Later.pdf" states to install with /AUTOOC=0. Worked for me.
