Spotify is not responding

I wanted to open Spotify, but it said it was "not responding". I have no idea why it is unresponsive in the first place, I only closed it for 1-2 hours and didn't do anything. 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.

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.
