"Users" folder goes in AppData, the rest goes in ProgramFiles. Tried to solve it using symlinks instead, but then my Users folder also ends up being written to ProgramFiles which I do not want, obviously. Stupid design choice by Spotify, and while it's not quite as bat-poop insane as, say, Microsoft's choice to install Age of Empires Online (a game that measures in at ~10 GB or more) to your AppData folder (even though the latter installs in Local rather than Roaming), it's still just bad design. It will still be in your Program Files folder too, but every time you run it from there, it will want to update/restart and then it runs from your AppData folder again. Furthermore, when updating in this fashion, Spotify will set itself to autostart on login again, which should not be done once I've set it to disabled - an upgrade should respect this but does not. If you've been surprised by the sudden appearance of Spotify on your computer and you want to get rid of the app, you can uninstall it via the Apps > Apps & features section of the Settings app.Sorry, but doing so (moving the folder and fixing the shortcuts) will just write Spotify back to your AppData folder the next time it wants to update. With no comment forthcoming from either Spotify or Microsoft, it is not clear if the forced installations are some sort of accident, or if the two companies have entered into a partnership. Looking to Reddit and Microsoft's support forum reveals that quite a few people are affected. The fact that Spotify is configured to run automatically at startup is irritating affected Windows users and baffling some less experienced users. Interestingly, it is the Microsoft Store version of the Spotify app that is being installed, and there is no way to block such forced installations.Īs reported by TechRadar, the sudden appearance of an unwanted icon in the Windows taskbar is confusing as well as annoying for many people. People are annoyed about what is happening for several reasons, not least of which is the sense of losing agency over what their computers do. Whoopsie daisy!
