Windows 10: Cortana selects Spotify but won't start playing anything

I can get Cortana to select Spotify (it's icon starts flashing in the taskbar), but it won't actually make a song play, or switch to the song or band I've asked for. I have Spotify Premium with family account -- does that make a difference?

to Cortana:

• Open Cortana.
• Select Notebook , then Music.
• Choose Spotify, and enter your account information. Or, create an account.

Unable to integrate Cortana with Spotify.

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We can imagine how difficult it could be when app feature do not work the way they supposed to. However, could you please let us know from where you got the Spotify app?



In the meantime, we would suggest you to follow steps mentioned below and check if it helps.

1. Go to Settings > Time & Language.
   
2. Click on Region & Language.
   
3. Check if country and language is set to United States and
   English (United States).
   
4. Then set up Cortana again.
   
5. Log out from your Spotify account and log in again.
   
6. Then try integrating Cortana with
   Spotify and check.
   

We would also suggest you to run troubleshoot for Microsoft Store Apps if you have installed the app from Microsoft Store by referring to

Fix problems with apps from Microsoft Store.
