Additional Information

Not sure if this is a coincidence, but Youtube Music started doing after I had lost my Youtube Premium subscription,
ever since then it acts like this, uninstalling it and reinstalling it does nothing. Turning off all my plugins does nothing,
no matter what I do it freezes after a few seconds of running. Running as admin makes no difference, I'm lost and turning to this place for help.

Although I can interact with the minimized icon of it in my system tray. Though, only maximize, minimize or close the window, and take it out from system tray with the show window button, along with restarting it and exiting it with the system tray icon, past that all functionality of the app is taken away from me.

EDIT 1: Upon further testing, after about 20-30 minutes of leaving it alone to "load" or whatever it may be doing while frozen, it does eventually function again, I'm unsure of why it freezes for such a long time before hand, this is the case no matter what every time. I have to wait absurd amounts of times before the app begins to function.

Does it actually freeze or is just is stuck loading the webpage? Try opening devtools and check the network tab, maybe that would give a clue. The app works fine for me, even without Premium.

[EquinoxRevolt]

Unsure of how to describe it, but it seems frozen, I'm not exactly sure how it handles it's interface but, stuck loading the webpage sounds like it might fit the context better, I don't know what it could be stuck loading and I'm not exactly sure what I should be looking for in the network tab. It worked the first time but no refuses to show any activity, using ctrl + R to refresh it does not work, but as for what I saw within it I didn't see any exactly alarming errors, if any at all, (no red = everythings fine for me.)

I am also having that same issue, on load it freezes, the music continues for a minute, then stops, and only comes back a few minutes later.

The app also sometimes freezes and stops rendering for me too. It's not often though, and doesn't have a specific trigger - it just happens randomly during playback.

After updating to 3.6.2.0 got the exact same problem.
Music plays after startup for up to 20 seconds and is interrupted.

I am having the same issue, where it gets stuck at around 19 seconds on the first song in my playlist after booting up the app. Trying to change the song just leads to it being unable to play, I can not play any songs once it gets stuck. This does not happen in the web version, just the portable one. For months I was using an outdated version without issue, until a few days ago when this started happening to me. I updated to 3.6.2.0 (the latest version) to see if that would fix the issue, but it did not. I tried disabling adblocker to see if that changed anything and it did not. While typing this response out, I had the devtools network tab open in the background (as my song was still trying to play) and I noticed this message was repeated a few times. Perhaps this has something to do with the playback issue?
