Newest spotify update for windows causing high CPU usage while not minimized

Newest spotify update for windows causing high CPU usage while not minimized

I've been on Spotify for windows version 1.0.44.100.ga60c0ce1 for a couple days and I've noticed a new problem.  I get a consistent CPU usage of 25-40% at any time the client window is open on my desktop, even when not playing any music or loading any content.  If i minimize the desktop window, the usage drops instantly -- leading me to surmize that it has something to do with the spotify GUI itself.

 

This is NOT the same issue people reported years ago from p2p / hardware acceleration;  I have already looked through those threads and this is clearly a different issue.

Hi! You can try to hide the announcements banner at the top of the "Browse"-page. This worked for me, at least.
