Solution 1: End the Process in Task Manager

Note: If this does not solve the problem for you, I recommend you also take a look at the Spotify Web Helper process under Background Processes section in Task Manager as users have reported that ending this process solves the problem as well.
Solution 2: Perform a Clean Install of Spotify
If the easy method above does not cut it, you may need to step your game up a bit and perform a clean reinstall of the Spotify app. This should solve the problem immediately but there are quite a few steps you should follow in order to perform the process in the best way possible. First of all, let’s uninstall Spotify on your computer either by using the Settings app or Control Panel on your Windows PC:

Solution 3: Disable Internet Connections on Your Computer
In some cases, disabling Wi-Fi, plugging off the Ethernet cable, etc, before you launch Spotify may also work and prevent the problem from occurring again. Simply disable the way you are using to connect to the Internet and try running the app. When Spotify starts, re-enable the connection and check to see if the error appears!
