My PC updated to Build 22622.601 overnight.

All of my Outlook window settings - preview panes, lines of text, etc. were changed.

Various pop-up boxes in random apps have text whose point size is about 30% of the system text.

AND - most egregious of all - Spotify loads on startup. What the what?

I know how to correct Spotify; Outlook windows always look funny when you change them, so I don't think you're ever happy, you just accept it. But I'm most vexed about the pop-up business.

Anyone else experiencing this?

This didn't happen to me after updating my laptop to Win11 22h2. However, on a Windows 10 system I use, the Spotify app started up upon boot, which was strange. Just went into task manager and disabled it from startup. Some posters here have reported Spotify loading at startup on Win 11 22H2.

To stop Spotify from loading at startup you have to open Spotify and select it to not load at startup. I had the same issue.

Quick access are the pinned items. Used to be above where HOME now is.

Maybe uninstall the app in the start menu and uninstall from Programs and Features. Use the web version not the app form the Microsoft Store.
