Hey @Bungler,

 

Can you try a clean reinstall of Spotify: https://support.spotify.com/learn-more/faq/#!/article/reinstallation-of-spotify?

 

Let me know how it goes!

Didnt help. Just installed an older version. That helped. Bug in new version?

Hey @Bungler,

 

Sorry to hear that you are having issues. This question might sound odd however it might be connected. 

 

In your settings, under local files do you have "windows media player" switched on?

 

Try turning that off and restart the client. Let me know if that speeds up the loading process.

 

Please see attached as per example:
