If you use Spotify on Mac, you may have noticed that the application on macOS is automatically executed when the Mac starts up, a behavior that could be annoying. The application in question is not among those indicated in the Users & Groups Preferences> Login Items, but uses its own method for automatic execution. Below we see how to disable the automatic start of Spotify on macOS:
- Visit the Spotify application on your Mac and log in with your account
- From the Spotify app, click on your name at the top, click on the triangle, and select “Settings”
- The “Settings” window will open. Scroll down and click “Show advanced settings”
- Additional settings will display. From here, you need to locate the “Startup and Window Settings” section. From here, you can choose between: “Minimized”, “Yes” and “No.” Choose the desired setting (“No” to not automatically load Spotify at startup). The “Minimized” option starts the app automatically on startup and leaves it running in the background.
