A lot of modern programs have been designed to run in the background by default to make accessing them quicker and easier.

How to Stop Microsoft Teams From Running in the Background on Windows 10.
To begin the process of stopping Microsoft Teams from running in the background, you’ll need to make the following changes. First, open Microsoft Teams, then click on your Account Icon in the top right-hand corner. Next, click Settings > General > Application, then remove the tick from the On close, keep the application running box. Once the change has been made, Microsoft Teams will fully close when you click the X in the top right-hand corner, rather than minimising to the taskbar.
If at some stage you wish to have Microsoft Teams run in the background once again simply return to the same location, place a tick back into the On close, keep the application running box and you are good to go.
On a Side Note…
If you’re also a big Windows 10 user, make sure you take the time to check out the newly designed File Explorer. More than likely it’s going to take a fair bit of getting used to, but it does fit with the current material design of Windows 10 very well. It’s also a work in progress, so it’s best to take it with a grain of salt as it still has a lot of work to go.
