My Question or Issue

A week ago I noticed that I couldn't open Spotify. I would click to launch the program and it would appear for a moment in task manager before disappearing again. To try and fix this, I deleted the program and downloaded Spotify again. Though when it launches after downloading I get an error message: Spotify could not be started. (Error code: 17). 

Has anyone else been able to fix this?

Hey @Nathan2741, thanks for coming to the Spotify Community!

Are you still having this issue? If so, could you go ahead and try a clean reinstall of the Spotify app? If this doesn't work, we can try a few other things.

Let me know how it goes 🙂

I did try that, but it only worked for me after launching in safe mode.

Thanks for your help.

Okay. Glad to hear you've gotten it figured out!

Let me know if there's anything else I can help with.
