Hey all!

According to the Issue thread I posted earlier, the issue seems to be fixed.

Please try reinstalling Spotify:

Remove your Spotify client using Revo Uninstaller (or similar), or by going to %AppData% and manually deleting the Spotify folders.

Restart your computer and then reinstall Spotify.

If you still have that issue, let me know. 🙂

Thank you for such a fast fix!

I have deleted my Spotify folder, installed the new version and everything is working like a charm.

Temporary fix by doing a system restore to when i know it was loading ok. Seems to bypass trouble. Am tempted to remove and reinstall now to see if thats it fixed. Maybe wait a day or two.

Seems to be working for now. 🙂

I deleted the Spotify folder in C:\Users\<user>\AppData, local and roaming. And after that i just install the Spotify again. it works for me. 

Hope it helps.

I tried this solution and it worked as described - thank you 🐵

The two paths you need: (just copy and paste the below into your pathfinder)

C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Spotify

C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Spotify

Delete Spotify both places and re-install and it should work 🐵

Awesome. Thanks for the 2013 fix. Been annoying me for a couple of weeks.
