All upgrades to windows 11 I have have been clean installs, where the OS get’s activated with the digital license tied to my microsoft account.Īll these apps are fully installed, they have a full sized packages installed according to the apps list in settings which can be uninstalled like a normal app. More to the point it also happened on my desktop PC which I built myself. As stated before it’s a direct download from the microsoft website, not OEM media. Some of the apps installed were spotify, disney +, tiktok and facebook messenger.Įdit: To explain a little more, these are Windows 11 pro licenses (well actually just windows 10 pro, but whatever). I’ve just finished installing Windows 11 on a laptop I’ve just acquired and the install media is clean direct from Microsoft. Microsoft, you have a good standing with many. Just uninstalled Spotify, which seemingly just installed itself and made itself run on startup. We’re here for you if any questions arise. This should be easy to mend, as programs can always be excluded from your Start-up list of apps :slightly_smiling_face: It is possible that an update has put the program in you Start-up list so now it auto-starts whenever you boot up your PC. The Spotify app is sometimes included with all pre-installed software that comes with Windows. Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

I would love to know what was behind Microsoft choosing to install Spotify
