My Question or Issue
Hello, recently I closed everything off of my computer, as to allow an update. Everything opened back uo normally except for Spotify. At first I got a notification that the launcher was unable to install something. This has happened before and I've been able to get it to work if I hit "Retry" a few times. This time, I hit retry and nothing happened for around fifteen minutes. Then, I went to run it as an administrator. Nothing happened. I tried clicking the app on the taskbar, and it lit up for a couple seconds like it was opening, and then faded back down. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, troubleshooting, everything. I've read through every thread I can find on here and nothing I've seen has worked.
I think you already tried it, but if not, i had the same issue that spotify didnt open up after a update.
After i restarted my pc, it worked as usually.
Also, did you download the app from the website of spotify or from the microsoft store? Try it, maybe it will help.
I wish you good luck and have a nice day.

I also just got this bug (same specs), happened after an update 8 hours ago... Also, reinstalled and restarted a few times, but didn't fix the problem.
sorry to hear that, hope youll find a solution!
Good luck!

I have the same problem, I guess. Windows 7. Spotify version 1.1.5.152.gf0f488f1 according to Windows. I cant open Spotify (just nothing happens, no process starts), I cant uninstall Spotify and I cant reinstall Spotify. Because just nothing happens.
Exactly same issue as Blup1. Simply refusing to start, and a restart hasn't worked.
Same Problem. Spotify works on this issue.
If you can't uninstall Spotify like me:
After, download Spotify 1.1.4.197.g92d52c4f (not buggy version) from https://www.spotify.com/fr/download/windows/
It works for me, for the time being...
Worked for me. Thanks!
