Now, you can open Spotify whenever you want rather than during startup. Sometimes, the OS fails to register the option, but that’s no different than Microsoft Windows that often requires several reboots to make a change. The next time you start your Mac, Spotify should not load, and it won’t ask to start with your computer again either. Choose “No” in the dropdown menu next to “Open Spotify automatically…” Scroll up to the “Startup and Window Behaviour” menu option.Scroll down the Settings menu and click on “SHOW ADVANCED SETTINGS.” to open up more menu options.Open Spotify on your Mac, then select the down arrow in the top-right section, and then click on “Settings.”.If you share your computer and somebody else accepted the prompt to authorize startup functionality, you can still turn it off. When you first install Spotify, you should see a popup asking you if you would like it to boot automatically. The Mac OS features many user permissions, one of which requires Spotify to ask for autostart functionality. But you do see a button that says “Show Advanced Settings.” Click that.How to Remove Autostart from Spotify in a Mac You don’t see anything about startup up automatically at login. So why was it launching at login? I decided to look at Spotify’s settings. So, Spotify wasn’t set as a Login Item– not in System Preferences / Users & Groups /Login Items, and not in the Dock.
So, it was not surprising to find that clicking and holding on Spotify in the Dock did not reveal an accidental “Open at Login.” Still, I thought it was worth investigating. If you uncheck “Open at Login” via the Dock you’ll remove it from the Login Items in System Preferences also. If you choose “Open at Login” that way, you’ll see the item in the Login Items in System Preferences too.
The Dock’s “Open at Login” option (click on the item in the Dock, hold the button down, slide up to Options, slide over to “Open at Login”) is connected to the Login Items list. The way to prevent something from running at login is to click on it in the list of Login Items, and then click the “minus” down below. The app will run, but will be hidden (as if you hid it yourself using the application’s own menu). Note: checking the “Hide” box will seems like the right thing to do, but that won’t prevent an app from running at login. Yet Spotify was launching every time I restarted the Mac. I didn’t remember putting Spotify into the Login Items list, and it turns out I didn’t! Look it over– Spotify is not in the list.
