How to disable Apple Music? I was searching how to uninstall Apple Music on MacOS but found it's sadly not possible. Is there any way to deactivate it or make it so that it cannot start? It keeps starting randomly, mainly when I use my headphones for meetings and then it interrupts the meeting which is embarrassing in front of important customers. I'm using the MacBook for business and I don't listen to Music while I work because I need to talk to people, either in person or during virtual meetings.

Hello!

Open --> System Preferences, then go to --> keyboard and lastly --> tick the Use F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys box. That will also disable other functions like volume controls. To use those you'll have to hold down the fn key.
