Hey there @Kotik100500,

Welcome to the Community!

We recommend uninstalling the Spotify app and your preferred browser, then checking your PC for any malware and viruses by using the proper tools.

It'd be best if you follow the steps for clean reinstall described here when installing the app and the browser anew. Make sure you download the latest Spotify version from our website or the official Windows App Store.

Let us know how you get on! We'll be here in case you need any further help with this.
