If I run every command it gives me the error mentioned in the title. Already tried reinstalling both Spicetify and Spotify. Also if I run spicetify it just says Run "spicetify -h" for commands list.

Alright, so after a few attempts, here's what I did (for anyone that might have the same issue)

I uninstalled spicetify-cli from my home folder, opened an admin PowerShell terminal, installed Chocolatey, installed spicetify-cli using Chocolatey, then set my prefs_path to C:\Users\jaron\AppData\Roaming\Spotify\prefs and now it's working all good.

Same thing happened to me. Don't know if this can fix for you but here ya go.

Removed both of the spicetify-cli folders from home directory. Installed PowerShell Core (Forgot to install this after clean windows reinstall) And then installed spicetify.

Also don't know if this is a thing with default installed powershell's repos or not (barely know much of these things at the moment), the config file that came with the spicetify-cli install had the Windows Store Spotify's prefs_path in it.

With PowerShell Core or with Chocolatey or with both of them it doesn't work. On another pc with only one account it works flawlessly, and same on linux with only one account
