Tio 0 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 (edited) Hey people , today Spotify opened when I started my laptop/win10. Just wanted to ask if this ever happened to anyone of you guys ? And what could cause this ? I never installed spotify on my laptop.

itman 1,746 Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Appears this might have been an auto Win Store install: https://windowsreport.com/windows-10-installing-apps-automatically/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tio 0 Posted December 29, 2019 Author Share Posted December 29, 2019 Hey itman, thank you for the answer. I guess it was installed on my laptop, but just yesterday it did start upon when I started my laptop. I read somewhere that this might be caused when the app is updated or something, it is after all "Spotify" should be nothing shady about it ? Whats is your opinion on it ?

Per the link I posted, it appears to be Microsoft supported software: Quote As a quick reminder, Microsoft killed Groove Music a while ago and replaced it with Spotify.

Not with spotify but I remember when windows installed candy crush without user consent. You should be easily able to uninstall spotify or if you wish to keep it disable it from startup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be easily able to uninstall spotify or if you wish to keep it disable it from startup OneDrive , Candy Crush and the other games , Skype , It seems now also Spotify , all of these are automatically installed , even though you uninstall them , Windows does wait a little bit of time to try again to download it.
