My Question or Issue

So when I I open up the Desktop App and log in with my Username and Password, it closes immediately. As soon as I hit enter it closes. I reinstalled it, it didn't work. I removed everything related to Spotify on my PC, reinstalled it, same issue. I really hope there's a solution to this. 
Here's a Youtube video that illustrates what I'm going through.

1. Go Here and click "Log out everywhere"

2. Full reinstall and most importantly delete cache

3. Install latest Windows updates

4. Ensure that the right Audio device is set to default (this is what Spotify uses)

5. If you have a Nvidia card, update drivers to the latest version as misconfigured hardware acceleration could be causing the app to crash at boot.

I did everything you told me too and it's still happening. I updated my Drivers, I logged out everywhere and it's still happening
