    Spotify is slow and freezes


    I have tried everything you'd usually do - reinstall, troubleshoot, restart computer. My phone works just fine but it is **** windows 10 does this. If microsoft cannot fix it they can pay my subscription. I want Cortana and their **** browser gone but they are like bloody creepy weirdos not letting you. If my phone can do it, then my laptop should. I'm up to date. If your updates are fecked them remove them. There is no option to share to whatsapp on my laptop version but is on my android app. **** microsoft. There are heaps of issues lately. Do not launch them until they bloody work. Tell me how to solve the spotify issue or send me the money for my subscriptions. I had a person from my internet provider come out for over 3 hours for what turned out to be a windows error. Have some pride and fix your ****.

    :)

  2. 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.

  3. Spotify app causes complete system freeze when opened

    Starting up the Spotify app causes my computer to simply freeze as is and is unrecoverable except through reset/holding down the power button. It happens with the store app AND the desktop app downloaded from the Spotify website.

    I'm running fully updated Windows 10.

    Steps tried so far:

    - Spotify support can't help.

    - Event Viewer shows Spotify.exe stopped interacting with Windows, but not much else.

    - Resetting/reinstalling the app temporarily fixes the problem, but restarting the PC/close and reopening the app brings it back.

    - All relevant troubleshooters run

    Cortana - Spotify problem

    So when I tell Cortana to play a song on spotify she does successfully finds the songs but doesn't actually play it. She just brings up spotify without changing the song.

    I found this fix:

    • 1. Unlink Cortana (in her settings)
    • 2. Revoke Cortana app access (via accounts.spotify.com), and while you're logged on...
    • 3. Set up an App Password especially if you're using facebook to log in (this may not be neccessary, but I did so just to circumvent all potnetial issues).
    • 4. Uninstall Spotify

      5. Install Spotify from the Windows Store (I believe the actual cause of the issue is that those of us with the problem probably installed from the Spotify Installer download, rather than
      the Windows Store).
    • 6. Launch and log in to the Spotify app with the app password you created in step three.

      7. Link Cortana using the app password you created in step three.
    • 8. Restart your computer (my Cortana didn't think Spotify was installed until I did so).

      9. Enjoy hands-free music browsing!

    The problem with this tho is that it only works untill i shut down/restart the PC. After that I need to redo this all again in order for it to work and its really frustrating to do this everytime I open my computer.
