Hey guys,

I have got my setup underway now, and "touch wood" has been OK.

The only issue im getting, (which I have had in the past) is that when I load Spotify it wont let me play any other songs?

It just plays what it wants and all I can do is play/pause?
 
Strange guys..

When I go into youtube and play a video, it works fine, but the volume and play/pause + track back/forward is static in the top left of the screen until Youtube is closed?

strange, something perhaps to do with the audio in W10?
 
Same problem back again guys :mad:

I just booted up my PC, and what seems to happen is that Spotify will not let me play any music, only pause / start the song that it loads with, and also on my keyboard I cannot use the Windows button next to CTRL to open the start menu?

Soon as I restart, the problems seem to vanish?


Any ideas?
 
Anyone got any ideas?

I formatted yesterday for a new NVME m.2 drive, but still get the same problem?

Soon as I restart it is 100% fine?
 
Thanks for the reply.

no there is hardly anything in the install, just some apps like Chrome and games..

I might try updating the BIOS? Worth a shot?
 
So is the Spotify GUI working at all? Can you look at your library, search for songs, etc - but just not select to play one? Or does the entire thing lock up when you load it, except for the play/pause control?
 
Another thing maybe worth trying... different keyboard? In case some keys are stuck?

good point, I will try source another cheap keyboard to try.

Yeah I can navigate menus and such no problem, just cannot play a track, only plays the one That loaded with Spotify? :(
 
strange, booted up the PC about 2-3 hours ago, working great, even tried the new COD Cold War on it (just setup today) and the performance and temps are great..

Will continue to look into this but not the end of the world atm..
 
Still happening now and again, no big deal but,he ho..

One question guys, rather than shut down and start all the time, is there any issue leaving the PC in "sleep" mode, even overnight? Or is that not advised for such a period of time? Surely OK?
