Can´t disable Media Overlay

Solved!

Can´t disable Media Overlay

Plan

Premium

Country

 Austria

 

Operating System

Windows 10 (Version 1803)

 

Spotify Version

1.0.81.325.g17f71170

 

My Question or Issue:

I can´t disable the annoying Media Overlay anymore!

Ever since I started using Spotify I have disabled the Overlay with the option "Show desktop overlay when using media keys" and it worked fine.

Suddenly the media overlay appeard again and everytime I turn it off again in the options it pops up again as soon as I restart Spotify, even though the option is still shown as disabled in the preferences.

Why does this setting reset itself and how can I stop this?

Downloaded spotify from microsoft store and it fixed my problem. 

It's fixed in 1.0.84.344.gfc674f6f. I don't have the problem anymore. Just wait for the update. 🙂
