Is Spotify making your computer slow to start up? So you can remove autostart

Talking about music in _streaming_ is talking about Spotify and although there are more services (Pandora, Sound Cloud, Deezer…) the green icon is the most popular of all those that swarm on the web. A service that we can access via web application or through an app installed on our computer and that we can find for both Mac and Windows.

In the case of the Microsoft system we can download it from the Windows Store and thus have our music at hand whenever we want. However, this, like other applications, can slow down our computer's startup, especially when they are configured to start at the same time that we start the operating systemA virtue that can become a defect if our PC is running low on power and starting more applications than necessary can manifest itself in a longer waiting time for it to start.

In this case, the solution is to disable automatic start of all those applications that are configured to activate when we turn on the computer and enter they are Spotify. And for this we have two ways to do it, one simpler and another just as simple but that requires a few more steps.

Using Spotify

Starting with the first one, this one requires nothing more than browsing the options of the Spotify app. To control the automatic startup we open the application and click on the tab with the shape of an inverted arrow that is right next to our username.

"

Once we have pressed we look for the Preferences and once inside we move until we locate the Show button advanced configuration in which we must _click_."

"

A new screen then opens and we must find the option Startup and window in order to find the one that reads as Open Spotify automatically at computer startup."

"

We have located it and then when clicking on it a window with a drop-down leaves us with three options, of which we must mark the one that says No ."

We exit, the changes are saved and From now on Spotify will not open automatically when turning on the PC.

Windows Method

The second method is to use the options that the system gives us. This is disable autostart from Windows 10 Task Manager.

"

To do this we use start Spotify and minimize the window. We now use the search box in the lower left area in which we begin to type Administrator."

"

We will see a list with the options to open the Task Manager and look for the tab Start We see a large list in which we must look for the process that corresponds to Spotify, which we remember, we are running in the background."

"

Once found we _click_ on it and a series of options are displayed, among which we must use the one that says howDisable."

We exit and in this way Spotify will no longer start when turning on the computer.

Two ways to improve the performance of our equipment, especially in those cases in which we are running low on power and cannot execute so many processes simultaneously.
