Issue

Trying to run Spotify on Windows 10 desktop produces following error:

The spotify program file has become damaged

The Spotify program file has become damaged. Maybe it has been infected by a virus.
Please download Spotify again from https://www.spotify.com

Trying to uninstall Spotify produces the same error. 

Resolution

The issue seems to have been caused by a pending Spotify update combined by Windows 10 pending restart after installing some Windows updates. After computer reboot, Spotify quickly updated itself and launched without any issues.
