I have finally given up looking for a solution now, no one here seems to know what the **bleep** they are talking about with regards to anything with this issue of the latest desktop app update, all of the suggestions only work until the next reboot or log into the machine, and a clean reinstall of the updated desktop app is necessary to get it working. Shut down, log off log back on, uninstall, reinstall, install from another directory the full updated desktop installer, run installation as administrator, which is an odd suggestion to make users do, most programs of importance in Windows always ask's the user to do this all the time, run installer as an admin, but the Spotify desktop app doesn't trigger this necessary important Windows message for the device user to do, run as an admin? I install all programs on this PC as an admin, no one else uses it but me.

I have finally given up looking for a solution for none of them are working i.e. I finally got the new update for the desktop app installed and working, only for the problem to return during the next reboot or log in of my machine.

And I usually find a solution within a few hours, even a few work around's that gets me back up and running, now it has become a real problem just doing that now on this community, this community is a mess now trying to find solutions for issues to solve.Ī desktop user now gets an OS error message about the program has stopped working, and Microsoft is looking for a solution and then the app closes, and the user can not use it anymore without this same error message, and without doing a clean reinstall of the desktop app each time. I have been searching for solutions for the past two days on this community for the Spotify update version 1.0.98.78.gb45d2a6b-12.
