Relaunch The Spotify App
Sometimes the bugs or errors that you might be dealing with in your Spotify desktop app go away merely by relaunching the application. So you might want to try your luck taking the easiest remedy first. Just click on the red cross button on the top right corner and then relaunch the app again from the Start menu on your taskbar.
Force Shut The App Using Task Manager
In case the app is not closing by simply clicking on the red cross button, you can force shut the app using Task Manager. To do so, just follow the steps mentioned below: Step 1: Right-click on the Windows icon on your taskbar and click on Task Manager. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open the Task Manager window directly.
Step 2: Click on the Spotify app and then click on the End task button at the bottom right corner of the window. This will force shut the app and you can then start afresh with opening Spotify again. But we would recommend you give it a couple of seconds before relaunching the app.

Talking a bit more about the aesthetics of the smartphone, the Asus ROG Phone 5S comes with a glass back (CG 3) with a metal side frame. On the frame, you get two air triggers on the right side along with the volume rocker and power buttons, which are placed perfectly well and within reach when using the phone with one hand. The left side has the secondary charging USB Type-C port along with the power point for the Aero Active cooler (sold separately). The dual SIM tray can also be found here.

The next one is the 13MP ultrawide lens, which is okay-ish. It is there in case you need it, but all your primary work will be done by the 64MP one. The third sensor is a 5MP macro lens, which is quite good. We took close shots of food and plants from a few centimetres away and it delivered very good shots, just not in low light. Videos here can be recorded in 8K at 30 FPS, which are not the best so we moved it down to 4K at 60FPS and that was where we squeezed out realistic moving pictures.
On the front, users get a 24MP wide sensor which is good for basic selfie use. Remember, this is a gaming smartphone so do not expect the best shots to come from the front camera. Saying that, we did manage to get good shots in daylight. Again, at night the rear camera with the LED flash on will give you better results.
The company supplies the Asus ROG Phone 5s with two speakers with stereo sound. That is good if you watching a movie with a friend, but when gaming you would want to connect the 3.5mm wired earphones for the best results. For security, there is an in-display fingerprint sensor, which is not the best in class, but 7 out of 10 times will work.
