My Question or Issue

Suddenly after a windows update spotify.exe wont open, so I uninstalled it and tried to install it back.

Now that I double tap the installer nothing happens! even in the task manager the installer appears for a second and dissappers. I don't know what to do.

Ive been having this issue lately, and it has something to do with the audio drivers. It needs to be patched. To fix this, I have found that logging off the PC works, or rebooting the PC. Its very strange. Will get back if I discover a real solution.

Found a temporarily solution, use old Spotify installer

It helps until latest update and then after reboot Spotify won't open up again.

Just make sure you've already uninstalled your current Spotify!

I had a problem with updates. The app wouldn't update, so I was about to reinstall it, but the installer didn't start. After searching through the web, and finding nothing, I remembered that there is the Microsoft Store in Windows 10. I opened the store, searched for Spotify, I downloaded it, and bam, there is Spotify working with no problems.
