Spotify’s having major issues on Samsung and Google phones—this is why

Users are reporting significant crashes and freezing issues with the Spotify app on Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy devices, particularly when streaming over Wi-Fi. Switching to mobile data alleviates the problem. Spotify is investigating a permanent solution, as reinstalling the app has not resolved the issues. Complaints were highlighted in a community forum thread, with users specifically mentioning problems on devices like the Pixel 9. Similar issues occurred last year with Pixel 6, 7, and 8 devices after a feature rollout. Users have attempted workarounds such as disabling notifications or clearing the app's cache. Earlier this year, Premium users experienced ads despite their subscription, which Spotify confirmed and fixed the same day.

Microsoft fixes Server 2025 Remote Desktop freezing issues

Microsoft has resolved a bug in Windows that caused Remote Desktop sessions to freeze, which emerged after an update to Windows 11 24H2 and Server 2025 released in February. The company released a patch (KB5055523) for Server 2025 and advised users to install it for essential improvements, while a previous update had already addressed the freezing issue on Windows 11. Microsoft has faced multiple patch-related challenges this year, including erroneous error messages and issues with USB-connected printers. A recent update also allowed some users to install Windows 11 against corporate policies due to a "latent code issue." User sentiment reflects frustration with Microsoft's reliability and suggests a need for better resource allocation to address internal failures.

Microsoft fixes Remote Desktop freezes caused by Windows updates

Microsoft has resolved an issue causing Remote Desktop sessions to freeze on Windows Server 2025 and Windows 11 24H2 devices. The initial fix was provided on February 25 with the KB5052093 optional update for Windows 11, followed by the KB5055523 Patch Tuesday cumulative update for Windows Server on April 8. Users of Windows Server 2025 who installed the February 2025 Security update (KB5051987) experienced freezing issues that rendered mouse and keyboard inputs unresponsive. Microsoft recommended installing the latest updates for improvements and resolutions. Additionally, Microsoft implemented a Known Issue Rollback (KIR) to address Remote Desktop and RDS connection problems stemming from Windows 11 24H2 updates since January 2025, which caused UDP connection interruptions to RDS hosts on Windows Server 2016. A permanent solution has been included in the recent cumulative updates. Microsoft also fixed a bug causing blue screen errors and installation issues on Windows Server 2025 systems with over 256 logical processors, included in updates since the KB5046617 cumulative update. However, users were warned of potential login issues with Windows Hello after the April 2025 security updates and that some Windows Server 2025 domain controllers may become unreachable after a restart.

Windows Server 2025 freezing after February patch

Microsoft has issued a cautionary note about a problematic patch released in February 2025 that affects Remote Desktop sessions on Windows Server 2025. Users may experience freezing issues shortly after connecting, particularly after installing the February 2025 Security update (KB5051987) and subsequent updates. The advisory states that after installing this update, Remote Desktop sessions may freeze, causing mouse and keyboard inputs to become unresponsive. Microsoft has not provided a timeline for a resolution. Additionally, a similar issue was reported with Windows 11 version 24H2, where UDP-based Remote Desktop sessions would disconnect after 65 seconds when connecting to Windows Server 2016 or earlier. This issue was resolved with updates released on March 27, 2025 (KB5053656) and later. For enterprise-managed devices with the March 27 update or later, no Known Issue Rollback (KIR) or special Group Policy is needed to fix the disconnection issue. Microsoft has no further comments regarding the situation with Windows Server 2025 at this time.
