Hey there @RealJeevesOfficial, 

Thanks for reaching out about this here in the Community. 

Would you mind letting us know if you've reinstalled the app from our website or from the Microsoft Store? Also, we'd like to confirm if you have followed these specific steps to do so. 

On another note, we recommend that you remove all lines from your hosts file by following the steps bellow:

1. Open Notepad as an administrator (right-click > Open as Administrator)
2. Go to File > Open, and navigate to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
3. Choose All Files instead of Text Documents next to the File Name box
   1. You'll see a handful of files, pick hosts and click Open.
4. 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
5. Check for any entries with Spotify in the address
   1. Examples may look like 0.0.0.0 weblb-wg.gslb.spotify.com0.0.0.0
6. If you do find any lines with Spotify, please remove them
7. Save your changes and restart Spotify

Lastly, could you check if the OS of your PC has any pending updates?

We'll be on the lookout for your reply.
