Spotify only runs in Safemode (Windows 8)

I restarted my computer and now spotify does not open.

Upon double clicking the application, I see it appear in the task manager for a few seconds, and then it disappears.

I tried uninstalling / reinstalling it as well as running it as administrator, it still does not work.

When I boot into safe mode and run spotify, it works!

However my spotify is stored in a the Roaming folder (not local) and within the spotify folder, there is no storage folder!

This is extremely frustrating.

AVG was running in the background. That was causing the issue.
