Tested & Working: Automating Spicetify Updates with Windows Task Scheduler
By Marcus Vance
if ($LASTEXITCODE -eq 0) {
& spicetify restore backup
& spicetify backup apply
} else {
& spicetify apply
}
This sequence prevents the recurring `xpui.spa corrupt` warning. By restoring the pristine backup first and re-applying customizations against the freshly updated Spotify binary, the script eliminates cache collisions. For users who prefer a classic Windows batch wrapper, a lightweight `spicetify-cli batch script` can call this file using silent command line execution arguments (`powershell.exe -WindowStyle Hidden -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File C:\Scripts\spicetify-autoupdate.ps1`).
