Can you paste the value of TargetSession in your config file at the following points:

1. With VC & Spotify open, when Spotify is selected.
2. After closing VC.
3. After starting VC with Spotify still open.

Note: You can open the config file when VC is open by R+Clicking on the system tray icon and clicking Open Config, or by pressing Win+R & entering %localappdata%/radj307/volumecontrol/volumecontrol.json.
Be sure to refresh the file with your text editor if it doesn't happen automatically.

TargetSession can be found near the bottom of the file, and looks like this:

  "TargetSession": {
    "PID": 21032,
    "ProcessName": "Deezer",
    "SessionInstanceIdentifier": "{0.0.0.00000000}.{9d2749b4-7c0d-434f-955b-0187eefc59c5}|\\Device\\HarddiskVolume3\\Users\\Administrator\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\deezer-desktop\\Deezer.exe%b{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}|1%b21032"
  },

Use this template for your reply (copy/paste):

### 1 ```json <-- TargetSession from step 1 goes here ```

### 2 ```json <-- TargetSession from step 2 goes here ```

### 3 ```json <-- TargetSession from step 3 goes here ```

Here you go I think I did it right

1

"TargetSession": {
    "PID": null,
    "ProcessName": "Spotify",
    "SessionInstanceIdentifier": ""
  },

2

"TargetSession": {
    "PID": null,
    "ProcessName": "Spotify",
    "SessionInstanceIdentifier": ""
  },

3

 "TargetSession": {
    "PID": null,
    "ProcessName": "Spotify",
    "SessionInstanceIdentifier": ""
  },

From looking at the first one, it seems like Spotify wasn't actually selected. This still shouldn't matter though, because it should still select it. Will definitely need a log file to be able to diagnose this further.

I just started my PC and it works as normal but still here's the log

[radj307]

This isn't enough to determine anything, I'll need a full log with all log levels enabled (Settings -> Event Logging -> Filter -> check all of the boxes) from a time that the bug you're describing occurred.

[radj307]

Is this issue still occurring for you?

[Dimetro25]

No. As I said in my last reply it fixed itself. I guess I didn't select it properly the first time

[radj307]

In that case, closing this
