My Question or Issue

 When Windows7 boots up, Close-Min-Max buttons displayed at wrong position. When I move Spotify window, top-right button block jumps to the right place. See attached screen capture.

Hey @novaktamas

I suggest turning off hardware acceleration for Spotify.

Go to Spotify, click on menu dots, navigate to View and click on Hardware Acceleration. It will restart the client.

Looks like some interesting issue with graphics. If the issue persists, let me know. 🙂

Hi, Sebasty,

it doesn't work (see attached vid). With h/w acceleration off, the "..." menu and the Min-max-close block is still displayed at wrong position. It is a very minor issue so I don't care if it will never be fixed, but it *is* an interesting bug.

The hardware accel was only a temporary fix then? Odd.

I would recommend reinstalling Spotify, maybe it's the client needing a refresh. Follow this article, but before you install Spotify, restart your PC. It's necessary to end all Spotify-related threads to give a fresh start.
You can also check (and delete) Spotify folders in %appdata%, both Local and Roaming.

If the issue is still present, then the graphics driver may need a reinstall, or there is a setting that causes this.

Let me know how it goes 🙂

Have the same problem. Happend on Windows 8.1 and a fresh install of Windows 10.

Thanks for posting. Disabling hardware acceleration fixed it for me too.
