Hi all. Love the 10 Pro!!!

Not so good is that I can't remove or disable the stock music player (music).
I use Pulsar but when I connect my Sony wh-1000xm2 through BT it automatically launches the horrible huawei music app and starts playing.

Any ideas how to get around that?

Try this, it helped out in my case.
in apps, select Music then select permissions and remove storage permission.

OP here.

I may have solved this.

In settings-apps I disabled all music permissions and then deleted cache and all data. Then I set Pulsar to my default music app.
Now Music no longer shows in battery-launch anymore so I guess it is effectively disabled.

Fot me this is OK now.

In combination with this problem, I can't even set spotify or Amazon music player as default, it's not even on the list, any ideas?

Just got myself a P20, I too am experiencing this same issue, followed all the steps above and when connecting to BTU in car still launches default player even though I have set PI Music to default. Is there not a way to remove the default app permanently using "Tool all in one software " ?

    Unfortunately, even though storage permission is OFF, the app still launches and plays when the phone connects to BT in the car.

    Any other ideas, anybody?

    I know it's not really resolution, but try changing default app for Music. Just search "Default app settings" in settings.
