Spotify stopped working on Windows 11 PC after April 15th Update in Windows Store.

Windows 11

Spotify is always set to start automatically on Windows startup, and I usually play music instantly with a keyboard shortcut. As it didn’t play anything, I checked for the system tray icon to open it, but there was no Spotify icon. So I tried to manually start it from the Start menu pinned item, but it didn’t do anything. I checked the Windows Store, and it showed that it was just updated. I restarted the PC — still nothing. Then, in the Windows app settings, I first tried using the "Repair" option; it didn’t work. Then I used the "Reset" app option, but that didn’t work either. So finally, I decided to uninstall it and reinstall it, but now it won’t install and gives an error during installation.

Screenshots of installation:
