Spotify Windows 10 app not responding

samjudson — Tue, 10 Oct 2017 08:30:01 GMT

Hi.

I run the new Spotify Windows 10 app and everything works fine.

I then close down the app, but it appears to not be stopping properly. If I then try to run the app again it waits for 30 seconds and then I get a "The Spotify application is not responding" error.

If I look at task manager I see 3 instances of Spotify running (4 if you include the one with the above error message). 2 are doing nothing, and 1 is using >25% of my CPU.

If I kill off the main task (the one with the CPU) the other 2 disappear, and I can run spotify normally, but the same happens next time I close it.

I am currently running Spotify Free, but had planned to upgrade to Premium - I am currently a Groove Pass subscriber 😞

Version no: 1.0.64.403.gb738707f
