How to make Spotify as my default music player for windows 10 on PC and Spotify App on Surface!

yes and ....!!

Even if we install Spotify as an app, that doesn't appear in the list to make that a default app for windows 10.

Thank you much for contributing to this thread.

 

Windows 10 forgets default apps

I have noticed like not 5mins ago that Winamp just got kicked out of my default apps list in Windows 10 Pro.
I installed this installation not max 3 weeks ago with fresh downloaded Windows 10 Pro using Microsoft Media Creation Tool, is there a way to fix this bcs I using sfc /scannow don't do a lot for me and I have run it before on this installation.

Before u ask, I have fully updated my Windows 10 with all non-insider/beta updates.

The only thing I have disabled is the uac prompt that popup when u need admin for applications to run bcs it's simply annoying.

I don't remember having all these problems with Windows 8.1 Pro when i was using that and I am really thinking about going back so I can have "fully control" over Windows again with like disabling all the admin crap bcs I feel like it's messing more up and makes things less useful in Windows 10 with all these small problems I have and I read a lot of ppl having problems with various things time and time again where they needed to reinstall Win10 over and over to get it to work fully.

Any advice on how I can get Windows 10 to just work as a "daily driver" without all these small annoying things? *Frown

 

How to make Spotify as my default music player for windows 10 on PC and Spotify App on Surface!

as Microsoft is moving on to Spotify and poor Groove is rolling eyes!

So, I thought to install Spotify and move my music library to Spotify; did that successfully and then thought to make Spotify my default player as Microsoft suggested this and there must be a way to make this my default music player on Windows 10 on PC and
Surface with Windows 10.

I have unsuccessfully tried by going into Control Panel --> Default Programs --> Set Your Default Program --> Music Player

I get 3 options:

1. Groove Music

2. Windows Player

3. Look for an app in the Store.

I can change my default to Windows Player or Media Monkey, however Cortana still opens up Groove (strange) - so I have tried 3rd option 'Look for an app in the Store', which doesn't work either as Store behave the same way as it does normally, launch
the app if you have already installed (as I did in my case, had installed Spotify app.), there is no additional option where I came from to make a new program as my default.

I think I am looking for following, whenever windows team can fix:

1. Let Spotify (Knowing the fact Spotify is not Microsoft product) be a real default program.

2. If Spotify becomes default program, we must be able to associate local mp3 files to mp3 player which is Spotify (yes Spotify's team work). Like I have Media Monkey Install and I can associate my local machine mp3 to Media Monkey.

3. Please make windows default program functionality reasonable, noticed funny around this area - I can provide details if needed.



Please let me know, if someone got any hint to resolve this matter.

Thanks,
