Hi,

 

Sorry! Was stuck in my computer mind after a bit of fiddling with my own computer 😛

 

OS: Operating system (i.e. windows 7, mac OSX, linux etc.)

UA: User account (the accounts on your computer, one if which being what you logon with, if you find one which isn't an admin try installing it through that account).

UAC: User account control, if you go to control pannel and search for it, you can bring up settings and change the level. If it's already on, don't worry about it.

Hi, and welcome to the community!

 

Make sure you're not running Spotify as an administrator.

What OS are you running?

If possible, try using a 'normal' UA then going back to your admin UA once you're done.

 

To check if it's running as an admin, you can try enabling UAC on full in control panel, and it should bring up an alert when it's trying to run as an admin.
