[Windows 10] Spotify rapidly pauses and unpauses

[mcaesarzeppeli]

My Spotify on my laptop will not stop glitching out. If I play any song, it'll rapidly unpause and pause again like I'm holding down the spacebar, making most music I listen to downright choppy or unbearable. I also have uninstalled and reinstalled it, but to no effect.

Hey @mcaesarzeppeli!

Welcome to the Spotify Community.

That's not cool. Let's try a deeper reinstallation to get this fixed. Just follow these steps:

• Log out of Spotify and then close the program.
• Uninstall 
• Browse to the cache and delete everything inside the folder. The default location should be:

C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\Local\Spotify\Storage 

• Delete also the folder:

C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\Local\Spotify\Users\<random numbers-user>\

There is a folder for each profile that has been logged into Spotify on that computer account. 

• Restart your PC.

• Reinstall the app from here.

Let us know how it goes.
