Windows 10: Spotify Opens when I start my PC

Windows 10; Default browser Edge


When I start my PC Spotify opens...it may be to Install it. I do not nor have I ever installed Spotify....


A Spotify window opens, It shows the Spotify symbol, it disappears in about 10 seconds.


I have looked in Startup, nothing is there, I have looked in P&F, nothing there, I have looked in task mgr, nothing there, I have looked for a Folder....in Program Files\Program Files x86\ProgramData Folders, nothing there.


I have not downloaded or installed anything on my PC... I have run malwarebytes....nothing came up.


At this point I do not know what else to do to get rid of this Spotify Popup...


Hopefully someone else has come across this and has the solution

:)

Unable to integrate Cortana with Spotify.

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We can imagine how difficult it could be when app feature do not work the way they supposed to. However, could you please let us know from where you got the Spotify app?



In the meantime, we would suggest you to follow steps mentioned below and check if it helps.

1. Go to Settings > Time & Language.
   
2. Click on Region & Language.
   
3. Check if country and language is set to United States and
   English (United States).
   
4. Then set up Cortana again.
   
5. Log out from your Spotify account and log in again.
   
6. Then try integrating Cortana with
   Spotify and check.
   

We would also suggest you to run troubleshoot for Microsoft Store Apps if you have installed the app from Microsoft Store by referring to

Fix problems with apps from Microsoft Store.

Cortana - Spotify problem

So when I tell Cortana to play a song on spotify she does successfully finds the songs but doesn't actually play it. She just brings up spotify without changing the song.

I found this fix:

• 1. Unlink Cortana (in her settings)
• 2. Revoke Cortana app access (via accounts.spotify.com), and while you're logged on...
• 3. Set up an App Password especially if you're using facebook to log in (this may not be neccessary, but I did so just to circumvent all potnetial issues).
• 4. Uninstall Spotify
  
  5. Install Spotify from the Windows Store (I believe the actual cause of the issue is that those of us with the problem probably installed from the Spotify Installer download, rather than
  the Windows Store).
• 6. Launch and log in to the Spotify app with the app password you created in step three.
  
  7. Link Cortana using the app password you created in step three.
• 8. Restart your computer (my Cortana didn't think Spotify was installed until I did so).
  
  9. Enjoy hands-free music browsing!

The problem with this tho is that it only works untill i shut down/restart the PC. After that I need to redo this all again in order for it to work and its really frustrating to do this everytime I open my computer.
