Spotify won't download!

[tamaraj]

I have had spotify for a while now but about a month ago it deleted itself from my laptop. I have tried at least 10 times to re install it but after I have pressed run, the spotify installer just disappears. Someone please help? It is so annoying!

Hey everyone, I had the same problem. I restarted my computer and everything was okay.

I am still getting the same issue of Spotify not downloading. The error that keeps popping up says that spotify is already running and to exit out of it. The only porblem is Spotify is not running on neither my phone nor my computer

Peter,

I want to sincererly tell you how much I appreciate your solution.   I tried for hours to download it from the site itself and found the installation process to be impossible.  The link you provided had Spotify on my Windows 10 set-up in less than a minute.  May you have  a beautiful week ahead. 
With Gratitude!!!!!

I uninstalled my spotify and I tried to reinstall it but I keep getting the same message "Spotify is already running, please close it and try again." I can't close it if I ALREADY uninstalled it. How can I fix this and reinstall spotify??

Hey @bonbonmouse,

Try this:

1. Download Spotify.
2. Restart your computer in Safe Mode. To do this, press and hold the F8 key as your computer is restarting.

3. In Safe Mode, open the Spotify Installer (from where it’s saved on your PC) and go through the installation process.

4. Once Spotify is installed, restart your computer normally.
5. Open Spotify.

Hope it helps. 🙂

I've used this link but now Spotify looks completely different with a different shade of green and no titles on any of the pages. Is this a legit download?

[bethaanf]

I used your link for Windows and it's downloaded a spotify version that looks almost completely different and won't close when I exit off the app.

wait until the error shows up and the download is done. after that got to this file "C:\Users\NameOfPc\AppData\Roaming\Spotify" find the spotify.exe try to run that and or the spotifylauncher.exe and see if this may work. this is what i did had put so much time into trying to get it fix for something as simple as this. hope this helps someone

What I had to do what go to my taskmaster, click more details, scroll down, and then right click Spotify and click "End Task". Good Luck!
