Cant log in, error code 17 on Windows 10

[jefi01]

Hi, out of the blue Spotify wouldnt let me log in today. I would be so grateful for any help on how to fix this!

When i try to log in the error message says (translated) "A firewall may be blocking Spotify. Change its settings to allow Spotify through.You may also want to try to change the proxy settings (error code: 17)".

I have tried logging on offline (same + error code 31), uninstalling and reinstalling, change the firewall settings and googleing advice. I run Spotify on Windows 10 Home (laptop) and to my knowledge there was no unusual activity like change of antivirus programe/software/internetconnection/update/etc between the day before when everything worked fine and the folloing day when i couldnt log in. 

Any help or advise would be much appreciated!

Thanks / Jenny

I can't get in either and I have tried to log in with the antivirus and everything off but it didn't work. I can use online on the computer but it is not the same as having the app...

Same with me.

Hi, 

This issue is one I'm also dealing with. Funny enough it's only on the application. I can log on to the browser and use the web player with no problem. 

Could someone escalate this? I really miss using the application

Do you guys also happen to use BitDefender by any chance?

I emailed support as well and here is their answer (no solution, but just in case it might help anybody else):

Thanks for reaching out to us. We're sorry to hear you're having trouble accessing your account. No worries, we're here to help you get in.

We've taken a look at your xxxxx account and can see that there was a problem processing your last payment, so we paused your subscription. This can happen if your payment method expires. Paused accounts can't listen to music until you update the payment method or cancel the subscription.

Don't worry though, we can help. We've unpaused your subscription and you're back on the Free, ad-supported service. This means you can listen to music again right away. You can resubscribe again at any time.

We're sorry for the inconvenience it has caused you.

Just let us know if there's anything else that we can help you with. We'll get back to you in a beat!

Which is true, i didnt want the premium anymore and just didnt pay (obviously not a good idea to stop the service that way) But i still have to the same error code 17/firewall/proxy setting message which i told them, so I'll let you know if Spotify gives me any good advice about it.
