I'm running macOS 10.12.5 and Teamviewer 12.0.75813, although this has happened with previous versions of macOS. When I disconnect my session, my host logs out, leaving the Mac at the login screen. Is there an option in Teamviewer that I can change so this doesn't happen?

I don't have Teamviewer installed, so I can't post the exact file name.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences and locate the Teamviewer.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart the computer, open the application, and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

Actually, I found an option in Teamviewer "Extras" that lets me choose whether to logout or not. It HAD been checked. When I unchecked it, there was no difference. Quitting Teamviewer logged out my macOS session.
@Eric Root (and @leonie) for that answer. I deleted the file com.teamviewer.teamviewer.preferences.plist in my ~/library/preferences folder and once I remembered to reboot that fixed the problem. Thanks so much!
You are welcome.
