Maybe the cause which leads to #34. According to the Readme:

Spotify's built-in updater is disabled, and Scoop should be used to update it instead.

But I am asked to update within spotify:

I have latest spotify via scoop installed (and no other plugins from this repo):

λ scoop list | grep ify
  spotify-latest 1.1.57.443.ga029a6c4 [spotify]

λ scoop update spotify-latest
spotify-latest: 1.1.57.443.ga029a6c4 (latest version)
Latest versions for all apps are installed! For more information try 'scoop status'

λ scoop status
Scoop is up to date.
Everything is ok!

There seems to be files from today after I opened Spotify a few hours ago:

λ ls -lah %LOCALAPPDATA%\Spotify\Update\
