Stop Spotify from Opening on Startup

When you have your Spotify app downloaded and installed to your Mac computer (i.e. Macbook) for the first time, you are excited to use the Spotify app often.

But after a while, you may notice Spotify opens every time you startup your Mac, and that’s not what you want anymore.

Opening up automatically on startup every single time is a default setting.

Fortunately there are multiple ways to disable/stop Spotify from opening up on its own. The methods are easy.

The same applies to Windows (if you’re using a Windows computer).

• Mac – Stop Spotify from Opening on Startup in Spotify Settings
• Mac – Stop Spotify from Opening on Startup in System Preferences
• Windows – Stop Spotify from Opening on Startup in Spotify Settings
• Windows – Stop Spotify from Opening on Startup in Task Manager
