Hello there!
Can you try the following steps:
Open Admin Command Prompt and type these commands one by one:
rm %localappdata%\Spotify\Update
mkdir %localappdata%\Spotify\Update
icacls %localappdata%\Spotify\Update /deny "%username%":D
icacls %localappdata%\Spotify\Update /deny "%username%":R
Description of given commands:
- Removes directory C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Spotify\Update
- Creates directory C:\Users\<your username>\Appdata\Spotify\Update
- Denies delete permission to your account for C:\Users\<your username>\Appdata\Spotify\Update requiring administrative prompt for delete privileges, preventing spotify from removing it without admin
- Denies read permission to your account for C:\Users\<your username>\Appdata\Spotify\Update requiring administrative prompt for read privileges, preventing spotify from placing the update program in it without admin
Hope this helps and let me know how it goes :)
