Hi there @MarcusAS,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community. We'd like to take a closer look into this.

First we suggest that you remove all lines from your hosts file by following the steps bellow:

Open Notepad as an administrator (right-click - Open as Administrator)
go to File - Open and navigate to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
Choose "All Files" instead of "Text Documents" next to the File Name box. You'll see a handful of files. Pick hosts and click on Open
When the file is open, you will see a block of text with # in front of each line and might see entries like 0.0.0.0 website.com127.0.0.1 website2.com
Check for any entries with Spotify in the address. Examples may look like: 0.0.0.0 weblb-wg.gslb.spotify.com0.0.0.0
If you do find any lines with Spotify, please remove them
Save your changes and restart Spotify

If that doesn't do the trick it can be worth running a clean reinstall to make sure there's no old cache files causing this.

Let us know how it goes.

Take care 🙂
