Spotify won't open - 'application not responding'

[borderlands23]

About a couple days ago my spotify decided it wasn't going to open. I click on the application, it bounces up and down but doesn't open. when I right click it, it comes up with 'application not responding'. I've just tried removing it and reinstalling it. the box with spotify in it appears and the spotify icon comes up again but still doesn't open. How can i fix this?

Spotify is crashing every time my computer goes to sleep (Windows 7). Ending the task in Task Manager doesn't resolve the issue. Deleting Spotify from the Roaming folder entirely, redownloading it and re-installing it does work. However, that is an enormous PITA to go through every single time my computer goes to sleep.

Is there a permanent fix? I'm really tired of monkeying around trying to get Spotify to run properly. The bottom line is, it should just work.

That's quite unfortunate if Task Manager doesn't work.

I have re-install and the problem continue, i noticed that this only hapen when the computer came from sleep and it lost the internet conection.

I just recently had this problem for the second time on my HP Windows 10 laptop. Any ideas?

My husband is using a Windows phone and his Spotify app pulls up and immediately drop off and I can't figure out what to do. He's uninstalled and reinstalled.

Hello

To be honest, I'm not familiar with a window's phone. I think Spotify isn't supported on a window's phone. Have a good evening.
