can you confirm you are not running the store version of MB and that you are happy to run a debug version?
Also does it happen with all files being played?
Thanks for getting back to me.
I was originally running the store version of MB and recently migrated to a new laptop and switched to the desktop version. In the migration process, I copied every possible file over in the MB appdata and other associated folders.
The popup that comes up in the system tray works perfectly, so maybe I copied over a file that I shouldn't have that is associated the taskbar preview in some way? Totally guessing here that there is a track/artwork cache for the taskbar preview or something like that.
Oh and yeah I'll be happy to run a debug build.
