![]() ![]() ![]() Virus Definitions Version Rev 1.305.1190.0 I would really like this to be fixed that when not reducing to the taskbar icon (from user point of view), to quit or use the Windows upper right corner (X) should send a cleanup and close signal to all processes, and not be leaving anything running. This has been going on for quite a while now. It got to the point during Spotify upgrades that the computer would actually freeze with high CPU and memory usage, but now it just remains as a high CPU background process that won't go away properly. The remaining and supposedly non-functioning process is also a CPU hog. I have to kill the process in Task Manager. On exit from Spotify one process now remains which will absolutely not go away. Now, having hardware acceleration checked or unchecked makes no difference. I stated as much in my initial posting, just have to suss the particulars out of what I said and it is there. To be sure, I have cleared Spotify off of my computer completely several times and done reinstalls from scratch. If this works as a solution, may you like this post and mark this as solved, please? Open Spotify, configure it as you wish, then try closing it and watch if the problem persists.If you find it, delete this folder in both locations In both of them you may find (or not, considering if the uninstall completelly removes the app) a Spotify folder. In that AppData folder specified before you will find a "Local" and a "Roaming" folder.Open this path in your Windows Explorer or Run Command: "C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME_HERE\AppData\" in which "YOUR_USERNAME_HERE" means your Windows logged user name, so choose accordingly.Uninstall Spotify from the Control Panel applet.Saying that, in order to try to solve your issue, you can try uninstalling the application and removing all traces of it, before reinstalling it again. So, at this point, I don't think it's related with your graphics card, but I can't discard this possibility. Well, searching for something related to hardware acceleration in Spotify I managed to find this thread, which is very complete on the subject. It didn't happened in both systems, with Spotify and all it's processes being normally closed with the main app. Tried on both Windows 7 (圆4) and Windows 10 (圆4) with two different computer specs (Win7 in the slower, no graphics card and Win10 on a potent computer, with graphics card). I tried to reproduce your problem here and see if that would happen here too.
