Hey @oRefleX!

Thanks for coming to the spotify community.

Have you tried uninstalling and re-installing from here?

Hope this helps!

Hey @oRefleX

Okay there's another couple of things to try. Is your OS up to date and have you tried running as an adminstrator?

There's a more indepth re installation you can do if neither of those work.

Windows:

First uninstall Spotify and then delete this folder:

C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Spotify

After that reinstall Spotify

If you can't find the folder, try this:

Uninstall Spotify: Start > Control Panel > Programs / Uninstall a Program > Spotify
Find your AppData folder and delete all Spotify data.
Start, run, type: %appdata% and hit enter
You probably see 4 folders; enter each and see if they contain a folder called Spotify. Delete the entire Spotify folder.
Restart your computer at this point.
Reinstall Spotify (download)

Mac:

Try downloading this free app cleaner. It's super easy.

When you open up the app, search for Spotify and it will automatically find and delete all files on your computer related to Spotify.

I use it all the time and it's a really great tool. If you ever decide to uninstall an app, the best way is to use this tool.

After that, download and reinstall Spotify.

Let me know if this works out for you!
