Spotify starts when Windows 7 starts even when it shouldn't

I have 'Open Spotify automatically after you log into the computer' set to 'No', but Spotify starts anyway. It seems that it start happening after one of the recent updates.

Hey @kprzedno

Have you tried to disable "Allow Spotify to be opened from the web"?

Failling that, if you ctrl+alt+del into you task manager there is a tab for Startup and you can disable Spotify from there.

Hope this helps!

Same here! It's so annoying and there is no 'Start up" tab in my Task Manager!

Hi iamandyhill,

Disabling "Allow Spotify to be opened from the web" seem to solve the problem.

Thanks for that!

It still looks like a bug in Spotify though.

BTW. It is not Startup thing, I don't have Spotify there.
