The Spotify desktop app keeps opening on startup, despite me specifically setting the option to NOT open on startup. I've already tried uninstalling, rebooting, reinstalling, rebooting, uninstalling, rebooting, and then installing the Windows Store version instead of the .exe installer version. None of these steps fixed the issue. I even checked the Windows startup menu and Spotify is listed as disabled, yet it still starts automatically. At this point, it has to be on Spotify's end.

- Delete the Spotify Icon located on your desktop.
- In the opened folder you should have two icons one for "Spotify" and another for the "SpotifyLauncher".
- Right click the "Spotify1" and select create shortcut - will let you drag the new created short cut to your desktop.
Hopefuly this will do the trick.

But still this is buggy behaviour from Spotify.......
I have full internet connection, but it says I'm o...
