Zoom 5.17.5

Supported on: Microsoft Windows XP SP2 or later

Description

Default policy is false. If this policy is set to true, client will automatically start and show itself in task bar after system reboot. If this policy is set to false, client will not automatically start after system reboot. If this policy is not set, client will use default policy.

Registry

HKCU Software\Policies\Zoom\Zoom Meetings\Recommended\General

Value name: AutoStartAfterReboot

Enabled: AutoStartAfterReboot = 1

Disabled: AutoStartAfterReboot = 0

REG Builder

BETA

Configure the state and elements to generate .reg, PowerShell, Intune, and SCCM outputs.

These exports replicate the policy's registry effect. Editing the registry directly is not the same as applying the GPO through the management console (no gpupdate, no central reporting). Test before production; HKLM changes require administrator rights.
