Hello Ciprian! Thank you for your tutorial! But can you believe they REMOVED the “Allow Spotify to be opened from the web” switch from the Settings tab??!
I’ve long disabled it on Task Manager’s “Startup” tab, it even says “Startup impact: none”… but it has no effect, it’s still launching on startup.
Happening on current 1.1.10.540.gfcf0430f (Windows Store version) and 1.1.15.448.g00fba0e3 (Spotify installer version).
It seems that Spotify AB really wants to run us over, no matter what!
Cheers, Bruno
This didn’t fix the problem. I do not have a Spotify account so the options that you talk about don’t exist when you’re not logged in. There is a far easier solution : just uninstall this invasive and useless app. Geek Uninstaller got rid of it for me in 10 seconds. Spotify is an annoying piece of crapware as far as I am concerned.

The app has changed since we made this guide, and the steps we have shown are no longer valid. We should update it in the coming weeks.
I don’t even have that option in my advanced settings
The Spotify app has changed since we created this tutorial.
