Re: Widget Spotify don't work
Doesn't matter what Windows version are you using, the Spotify plugin isn't included into Rainmeter. You have to install it. Do you have it installed?

Re: Widget Spotify don't work
Check if you have the plugin: right click the Rainmeter icon in the notification area, click About, the open the Plugins tab. Check to see if the Spotify plugin exists in the list. Does it?

Re: Widget Spotify don't work
Read: https://github.com/RobertFrydenlund/SpotifyPlugin ... the plugin is no longer active/supported.
The recommendation is to use Spicetify by khanhas
Better yet, contact TJ Markham, http://tjmarkham.com and ask him to update his skins...

Re: Widget Spotify don't work
As I don't use nor Spotify, so nor the plugin, I didn't know about this detail. But is good to be known.

Re: Widget Spotify don't work
Any skin using either the Spotify or the Spicetify plugin (I don't know this plugin, but probably it is related to Spotify) can't work without the running player application.

Re: Widget Spotify don't work
EDIT:
You are right, Spicetify is not a Spotify application, it is a replacement plugin that is used by a skin to get info from your Spotify program.
As balala explained, what you see on your desktop uses a plugin to obtain the information you want to display.
The plugin that skin uses was the SpotiyPlugin (which is no longer working or supported).
Spicetify is one option, but it is basically a CSS controller.
Sorry I can not help you any further
