Can´t open Spotify

Can´t open Spotify

Hello,

If I start Spotify on my Windows Desktop I just see a black sqare, I can form it like the normal Spotify Window but I can not click something. The only thing I can do is close Spotify in the Task-list.

Is it a Problem of Spotify or my PC and how can I fix it?

Thanks for your help and sorry for my bad English,

Hannes

Having same issue. Problem started after "Feature update to Windows 10, version 1803". Reinstalling the program did not solve the issue.

Same issue here, never had a problem before. After the Win10 feature update, black screen with a small white line up top. I used the web player and noticed Spotify desktop updates the song name in the taskbar, so it is partially working.

 

I installed over top, same issue. Then I uninstalled and re-installed, and can only see the drop shadow with my wallpaper in the foreground. Screenshot attached.
