Windows 10: Spotify is not responding

I wanted to open Spotify, but it said it was "not responding". I went to uninstall and reinstall the app, but it didn't work. I tried using Microsoft store. It downloaded successfully. When I tried to open it, it said "A Windows Store installation of Spotify was found in your system. Please uninstall that version first, or update through the Windows Store." I searched in Control Panel and there was no Spotify app. I cannot uninstall as there is no Spotify app to do that and there is no update option in the Store. If necessary to know, I use Windows 11.How to fix this?

Spotify

I have just discovered two Spotify entries in the StartUp list in Task Manager.
However there is no trace of Spotify elsewhere in the system.
I went through the registry and deleted every reference to Spotify that could find, although some refused to be deleted.
That made no difference.
The store shows that Spotify is installed. Which is strange.
However I found an entry in the Apps list in Start Menu, clicked uninstall and that cleared the problem.

 

Spotify is not responding to Cortana

Spotify doesn't respond to Cortana's requests. After I ask Cortana to play some music on spotify, Cornata successfully opens up Spotify, but doesn't do anything.

Cortana successfully identifies the songs, bands or any other request I made, but Spotify just opens up and doesn't play any song.

I've repaired Cortana using Powershell, reinstalled and relink Spotify to Cortana, but nothing has worked yet. I've also tried unsuccessfully a solution posted on the following link on youtube:

I thank in advance any help.

 

Unable to integrate Cortana with Spotify.

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We can imagine how difficult it could be when app feature do not work the way they supposed to. However, could you please let us know from where you got the Spotify app?



In the meantime, we would suggest you to follow steps mentioned below and check if it helps.

1. Go to Settings > Time & Language.
   
2. Click on Region & Language.
   
3. Check if country and language is set to United States and
   English (United States).
   
4. Then set up Cortana again.
   
5. Log out from your Spotify account and log in again.
   
6. Then try integrating Cortana with
   Spotify and check.
   

We would also suggest you to run troubleshoot for Microsoft Store Apps if you have installed the app from Microsoft Store by referring to

Fix problems with apps from Microsoft Store.
