Hi

try:-
signing out
uninstalling the Spotify app from windows
RESTARTING YOUR PC
re-installing the Spotify app form the MS Windows Store
Logging back in.

Let us know how you get on 🙂

Hey there @rykthegod,

Thanks for posting on the Community about this.

Make sure you try running a clean reinstall of the Spotify app on your device since this will remove any old cached files which could be causing these issues.    

If the clean reinstall doesn't do the trick, check if some of the entries in your hosts file need to be removed. Follow the steps here on how to do this. 

Keep us posted! We'll be happy to lend a hand if you need more help.
