Prevent the Spotify Windows app from auto-updating.
This script removes and locks the Spotify update folder, preventing the app from installing updates.
- Blocks Spotify auto updates
- Runs automatically at Windows startup
- No manual intervention required after setup
- Logs activity for debugging
- Download the files or clone the repository
- Place both scripts in the same folder
- Run
Install-SpotifyGuard.ps1as Administrator
Run-SpotifyGuard.ps1→ main scriptInstall-SpotifyGuard.ps1→ sets up automatic startup
- Windows only
- Requires PowerShell
- Spotify updates will be blocked until the script is removed
This is an unofficial workaround and may stop working if Spotify changes how updates are handled.
