My Question or Issue

After running for a while, I cannot start a new song (it just keeps playing the current song) and I cannot close the app, unless I kill every Spotify process within the Windows task manager. None of these issues were present in Windows 10, but I don't get these kind of issues with any other applications besides Spotify.

Hey @SubliemeSiem,

 

Thanks for posting in the Community.

 

Have you tried performing a clean reinstall of the app already? If not, try one as described on this page. Also make sure to download the app from the Microsoft Store afterwards, as the version there is better optimized for Windows.

 

Could you also run Spotify as an administrator and activate compatibility mode for Windows 10?

 

How did that go?

 

Keep us posted,

 

Cheers!
