Spotify keeps checking the "Downloaded" filter in my playlists on its own.

Spotify keeps checking the "Downloaded" filter in my playlists on its own.

Right below "Your Library" where the filters are, I usually only have "Playlists" checked. Nothing else. I want to be able to see all of my playlist, hence the chosen filter. But. Spotify decides to do things for me and the app continually checks "Downloaded" as well, which means whenever I either open or just bring Spotify back up from being minimised, the "Downloaded" filter is checked. Please make it stop.

Hey @radiodread,

 

Thanks for reaching out.

 

Since you posted in the Desktop Windows board, we assume this happens on your PC. Have you tried any troubleshooting steps like reinstalling the app, trying with a different version (the Microsoft Store one vs. the one from our website) or a different account?  

 

If possible, send over a short video of the behavior along with your exact Spotify version.

 

Keep us posted.

Have the same problem. What I suspect is happening is: when the app is in the background or in my case, the network is being re-established after waking PC from sleep, Spotify app thinks it's currently offline and turns "downloaded' filter as a convenience for when you are actually offline. I bet there is some value with a lifetime that needs to be set every now and then and while the app is in the background, the timers are prolonged as a part of the efficiency optimization which leads to the expiration of that value making Spotify app think it's offline.
