My Question or Issue

Shuffling a playlist results in Spotify shuffling the Play Queue ONLY when using the Windows 10 Desktop client. This results in a shuffled 81-song sub-playlist based on the current sorting of the larger playlist. In the attached images using my Jams 2020 playlist, you can see the difference between using Shuffle Play on mobile and using Shuffle on desktop. Shuffle Play results in the expected behavior, while Shuffling using the Desktop client results in the top 81 songs being shuffled--notice the artist names all start with "0" or "A", due to the alphabetical by artist name sorting of the larger playlist.

I have gone through all of the "What to try first" steps listed in this post: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Desktop-Windows/Troubleshooting-Windows/td-p/532796

As of this morning this appears to be fixed.
