The storage units that are part of our computer, despite the fact that they are getting bigger, have limited space. Hence, for many the misuse of the gigabytes available on these disks is very serious. Microsoft sometimes does not help us at all when it comes to saving in this regard, something that we are now also seeing with the unexpected arrival of the application of Spotify.
Most of you already know firsthand that when we install the Windows operating system on our computer, it comes with multiple programs. These UWP apps a priori it might seem that they are part of the same system, but in reality this is not the case. We are talking about software solutions that either from the first moment, or later, we find installed on the computer without us having done it by hand.
This is something that many users around the globe have been complaining about for years and in the most recent versions of Windows. We tell you all this because now it seems that a new title has been added to those that we have known for a long time. And it seems that the Spotify music service application installs itself on some computers based on Windows 10 and 11. This is something that unfortunately takes place automatically and has been detected over the last few days.
We know this because a good number of users of the Microsoft system have noticed that Spotify is automatically installed without their consent. What’s more, they have noticed that the application runs at system startup. Likewise, it requests users to log in to your accounts or sign up for a new one.
Not only Spotify, there are other apps that appear in Windows
As we have seen on other occasions and focusing on other titles, now Spotify appeared on Windows computers without any interaction on our part. What’s more, some reported that the title appeared installed after the arrival of the most recent system update. Obviously all this is part of Microsoft’s own strategy for us to use certain platforms.
In this way if we are not subscribed to Spotify or any of the other applications that suddenly appear, this is an incentive. We are talking about a Microsoft strategy to monetize the new accounts that we open in this bloatware that the firm sends to our equipment with Windows. These can be found in the form of shortcuts for installation, or the program as such already added.
There is no doubt that this is a major annoyance for many users, either because the titles are unnecessary or because they take up space that could be used for other tasks. Next, we will show you some of the most common that we can see on our computer without wanting or needing it.
- Spotify: music streaming service known by most with a paid subscription.
- Candy Crush Saga: popular play that we found in Windows 10 that we can pay for improvements.
- Clipchamp: paid video editor that we can see in Windows 11.
- Disney+: one of the best-known video streaming platforms that invites us to subscribe.
- TikTok: social network based on the use of short videos to share.
- Adobe Express: free application to improve our Photos thanks to its editing functions that it integrates, but where we have to register.
- Hidden City: Hidden Object Adventure: hidden object game that we must find in the form of a puzzle with a payment method.
