My Question or Issue

I can't see the spotify overlay, the one that works to skip track or pause/play that can be controled from the volume keys.

I've uninstalled, deleted all folders left before re-installing and installed again but keeps having the same problem. This started after updating my device to Windows 11. I screenshoted my screen to prove the issue.

Hey @bratzmagazine,

 

Thanks for the post!

 

Try going into Settings > Display > Show desktop overlay when using media keys > switch that on.

 

Let us know if that makes a difference.
