when i try to login on the spotify app on windows 10 it redirects me to a page that says illegal scope and nothing else. i tried changing my default browser from opera gx to google chrome and it still says illegal scope

I found a few suggestions here that have worked for other people:

After you changed the default browser to Google, did you try restarting your computer first? I would try that first before trying the other suggestions.

I tried everything in there and none of it worked
