Windows 10 And Windows 11 Users Protest There Is Auto-Installed Spotify After They Update The Operational System

JAKARTA - It seems that Windows 10 and Windows 11 users on Personal Computer (PC) are not happy with Spotify's presence when they finish installing Microsoft's new operating system.

From reports from some users on social media, Spotify is installed automatically and runs when the system starts, and invites users to log in to an account or register for their new account,

Starting from Twitter, Reddit and other sites became a forum for user protests against the Spotify app that appeared on Windows devices without the user's consent.

Some users also leave negative reviews on the Microsoft Store, they don't want the music streaming app to just install and they also ask Microsoft to explain how the app is installed automatically into their system.

Anyone who runs Windows 11 randomly, Spotify starts rolling out on startups even though it's never used it before?, tweeted a user on Twitter quoted from Windowslatest, Friday, September 30.

Has Windows forced Spotify on other people in the last few days? Too much control has been taken by Microsoft now, I think it's time to put this new SSD into my Linux box and use it for daily tasks (other than Steam)," tweeted another Twitter user.

However, it is not known for sure whether this was intentional by Microsoft or a bug. Most likely this is also a new feature, because the company has full control over the downloaded apps from the Store. Neither Microsoft nor Spotify have responded to this.

To remove the Spotify app, here are the ways quoted from GHacks how apps can be removed.

1. Open the Settings app by clicking Start then Settings, or by using a Windows-I keyboard shortcut.

2. Switch to App click App & Features.

3. Search for Spotify in the application list or search for a list to find an installed application.

4. Activate the menu (three dots) next to it and select the uninstall option.

5. Confirm uninstall prompt to start deleting apps from the system. Then Spotify will be removed automatically during the process.
