Spotify is plaguing my windows 10

[PaulDesmond]

Hi. This is very odd but recently I have found that when I switch on my computer I get a Spotify icon on the bottom task bar. It is not installed. Is it linked to a browser? And if so what website could do such a thing. I have Avast free which should stop rouge behaviour like this. I have variouse browsers but only use Google chrome.

Any ideas?

In the search type spotify, go to I think it said spotify media click (arrow out to the side of it)that and it should out to the right say uninstall.

Is it in Task manager/start up programs?
It installed it self seemingly at random on both win 11 & 10.
