The quickest way to change what opens on Mac startup is to use a special software App Cleaner & Uninstaller.This app is designed to completely uninstall apps on Mac, but besides its main purpose, it has a great feature to manage login items and launch agents on Mac. The easiest way to stop Spotify opening on Mac startup. It won’t ask to start with your computer again either. The next time you start your Mac, Spotify should not load. Set the toggle next to Open Spotify automatically after you log into the computer to off. Select the down arrow in the top right and then Settings. Maybe make it default, as most people don't like a bunch a crap programs to start trying to load as soon as they power up there machine. If I select don't run in msgconfig, it would be nice if Twitch would respect my choice there. Like it just creates a new folder in there to startup on boot.

If you’ve d’loaded it as a Windows app, you need to configure the Windows settings as described above (in addition to the regular “Edit > Preferences > Startup and Window Behavior >Open Spotify automatically after you log into the computer > No” fix within Spotify).Go to msconfig again, now, I have three Twitches. I believe this is a problem caused by Windows being confused because it is possible to have downloaded and installed Spotify from the Spotify website as a regular program, and it is also possible to have downloaded and installed Spotify from the Windows app store as an “app”. I had even used CCleaner and other methods to change startup entries without success until I tried the above procedure. – Find Spotify in the list which appears and uncheck it Click “Configure startup tasks” right underneath it – A panel of Windows settings for the app will appear, not Spotify’s own settings – When it comes up in the list, right click it and select “App Settings” – Search for Spotify in the Windows search bar If you’re running Windows 10 and can’t get Spotify to stop opening when Windows starts – even with the startup option set to “No” in the Advanced section of Spotify’s preferences – you may have the Windows app store version of the program installed, even if you don’t think you have.
