For about week ago I have a problem with search ,radio and browse, I do not know what to do, I have tried everything I could.Those problems started after last update. I'm using windows 8.1. Help please...
Solved! Go to Solution.
Try launching spotify from the Run command with the command below. If that works for you, right click on the spotify shortcut you use to launch spotify (you may want to create a copy on your desktop instead) and go to properties. Go to the shortcut tab and add --disable-accelerated-layers --disable-accelerated-fixed-root-background after the current contents of the Target box.
%APPDATA%\Spotify\spotify.exe --disable-accelerated-layers --disable-accelerated-fixed-root-background
If it works in one, it should work in the other. Make sure that the target box looks like this at the end (copy and paste this)
spotify.exe --disable-accelerated-layers --disable-accelerated-fixed-root-background
Also be sure to click Apply then OK. If it still won't work, could you copy and paste your target box contents here?
