My Question or Issue

Hey there!

I've had this issue for a while now which has stopped me from using Spotify on my PC at all. The issue is that I can't open Spotify without the application trying to download music I have marked as 'liked' on my phone. The question is: Can I somehow turn off the automatic download for songs on my Desktop-Version of Spotify?
I have already tried to 'unlike' songs to see if the download stops but it doesn't.

Attached is a screenshot of my taskbar showing the Spotify application with a little green bar, indicating that it's infact downloading something and interfering with my connection. Due to the download I am experiencing a lot of ping problems.

Thanks in advance,

Conner
