<summary><small>How do I go back to the previous version of the client ?</small></summary><p>
If you have problems with the patch after upgrading the client version, then use this [tool](https://github.com/amd64fox/Rollback-Spotify) to revert back to the working version.

<summary><small>Outdated versions of PowerShell</small></summary><p>
If you are using Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, there may be errors in the installation process due to an outdated version of NET Framework and PowerShell.
Do the following:
* Upgrade to [NET Framework 4.8](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2088631)
* Upgrade to [WMF 5.1](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=54616)
* Reboot your PC
<strong>Note:</strong> For Windows 8 it is not possible to upgrade the PowerShell version, please upgrade to Windows 8.1 or 10
</details>
<h1>Additional Notes:</h1>
* SpotX will only work correctly on the latest versions of Spotify, please make sure of this before asking a question.
* The modifiable files are replaced by the Spotify installer every time it is updated, so you will need to apply the patch again when this happens.
* SpotX will be installed even if you are using Spicetify, but you may need to run Install.bat again after running the `spicetify apply` or other commands.
