Describe the bug

Webnowplaying not showing cover and progress bar.

To Reproduce

I've downgraded to 5 different versions of my Spotify and none worked:

I've in all versions uninstalled the previous version and after installing it blocked Spotify from updating (created "Update" folder and denied access from the system, user, and administrator). Also, I've uninstalled specitify before installing the downgraded version with this commands:

cd ~
rm -r spicetify-cli
rm -r .spicetify

Additional context / media

If is there anything else I can provide to help solve the problem please ask me. Thank you so much.

Been having the same issue for a while now. Updating the WebNowPlaying.dll didn't work, updating spicetify didn't work. Any help is appreciated.

I think this is affecting everyone using monstercat, yet not responses so far :/

THANK YOU SO MUCH! That solved my problem. In addition: what I did to prevent it from happening again is blocking Spotify from updating.
