Spotify desktop app has problems with playback

Spotify desktop app has problems with playback

Hi!

 

I am currently on Windows 10 and using the desktop version of Spotify.

 

Just recently, I find myself having problems with playing any songs, the streaming doesn't seem to work. The progress bar doesn't move and nothing plays. Occasionally if I'm lucky there would be a few seconds of playback until the progress bar stops moving and there is silence again. This is really annoying!

 

I have tried reinstalling Spotify (3 times, in fact) and even checking my internet settings. Spotify continues to work perfectly on the web player and my smartphone, so I'm guessing it a problem with the app??? Please help!
