It also takes up a spot on the Windows Taskbar, which is quite frustrating for inexperienced Windows users.<\/p>\n<p>Now, this isn\u2019t the \u201cnormal\u201d Spotify app. It\u2019s the version of Spotify that\u2019s distributed by the Microsoft Store, which may explain why users aren\u2019t asked to verify the installation. Microsoft can bypass installation wizards and other security hurdles when it forces an app onto your PC.<\/p>\n<p>We hope that this is a mistake of some kind. Forcing bloatware on a computer is one thing, but Spotify opens at startup to hog system resources and beg for a subscription. For inexperienced users, especially those who don\u2019t use Spotify, this is a McAffe-grade annoyance.<\/p>\n<p>Neither Microsoft nor Spotify have commented on this story. We don\u2019t know if the companies are intentionally forcing Spotify onto PCs.
