It looks and acts identically, but uses 60-70% of my CPU and the UI is super slow. For reference, the version downloaded from Spotify's website uses 3% of my CPU.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I found a few posts on here about similar issues, and followed any solutions they arrived at - cleared the cache, fiddled with settings, reinstalled the whole thing. It still swallowed up my resources. I ended up re-downloading Spotify from their website, and that version works fine, but what's going on here? Why does the Windows 10 store version run so poorly? Is it just my machine or is this a universal issue?</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Running Windows 10 version 1909,&nbsp; build 18363</P><P>Intel Core i7 i-9700K</P><P>NVIDIA RTX 2080 Super</P><P>32gb RAM</P> Fri, 17 Apr 2020 12:28:57 GMT https://community.spotify.com/t5/Desktop-Windows/Why-is-the-UWP-Win10-version-of-Spotify-so-resource-heavy/m-p/4932012#M85213 Autolux 2020-04-17T12:28:57Z https://community.spotify.com/t5/Desktop-Windows/Why-is-the-UWP-Win10-version-of-Spotify-so-resource-heavy/m-p/5303864#M104571 <P>It's not uwp.
