Full screen mode disappeared in the latest Premium version (desktop windows)

herves — Sun, 06 Dec 2020 11:39:44 GMT

I received an upgraded version of Windows and in the same time an upgrade of Spotify

The version is now 1.1.47.684.g136419d9-a (on windows 10 family version 2004)

I have the Premium subscription.

Since the upgrade, the FULL SCREEN button has disappeared (the 2 arrows in the right bottom corner).

How can I have the FULL SCREEN (display of the cover) back again ?

Thanks for your answers.

Hervé

This feature was deliberately removed by Spotify as part of the latest update.

You can participate in the feedback thread if you think it will help: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Desktop-Windows/New-Desktop-Experience-your-feedback-wanted/td-p/5072418

In the meantime, it's possible to roll back to a working version of the client by using instructions in Reddit post with ID k2s2z2 - I can't link it because Spotify has set this forum to automatically remove posts containing the link.

Thanks for your answer.

What do you mean by "Reddit post with ID k2s2z2" ?

Where can I find it ?

I would like to go back to the previous version.

I miss the FULL SCREEN mode.

Thanks for your help.

I simply Googled "reddit k2s2z2" and found the post that way. I didn't run the command lines that the post suggests, but uninstalled Spotify from my computer and re-installed it using the link in the post.
