Multiple spotify.exe process

Multiple spotify.exe process

Hello

 

Why there are multiple Spotify.exe processes? Why not just one? I killed them one by one but they kept coming back.

Hey,

 

This is normal behavior. Technically, you are seeing three background processes and one application process. The background processes deal with rendering and other tasks. If you go to the Processes tab in Task Manager and sort the processes by name, there will be two categories shown: Apps and Background Processes. Ending the Spotify.exe task in the Apps category will close Spotify as well as all background processes.

 

Have a fantastic day!
