    (Universal) Windows Apps - Startup entry.


    Hello Guys,

    I have recently installed the Spotify from the windows store.

    It creates two startup entries as shown below:

    Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online.

    I would like to remove them both from the startup, however I could not locate the registry keys nor the files which are suppose to execute them.

    I have followed the guide below to no avail.

    Any suggestions ?

    All the best!

    Hello Spunky, :)

    Was it not listed in CCleaner either?

    No, unfortunately, it wasn't listed there. I have also tried to locate any startup entry with Autoruns but no luck either.

    In that case, use the Find and Find Next feature in Registry Editor to search for Spotify to see what it finds. List any keys it finds here to see if one may be the culprit.
