Windows 10: WHY CANT I OPEN SPOTIFY.

Hello, today i tried to open spotify on my computer, but when i clicked on it, it showed me that i need to ask a microsoft parent from microsoft family. It never showed me something like this. So i clicked on "ask permission" and when my microsoft parent allowed it, nothing even happened. I uninstalled spotify, and installed it back but it again, said to ask for permission. Nothing is working. Help and microsoft, u better fix this soon .

Can't hear spotify

Hi vasilisnikolo,

I'm Rodrigo and I'll help you.

First, check the volume on the bottom right corner of the Spotify application, if it is set correctly proceed to the next step.

Right-click the volume icon > Open volume mixer > Select Spotify (if it is not appearing in the list, play any song), make sure that "Output device" is set to "Default"

 

Spotify

I have just discovered two Spotify entries in the StartUp list in Task Manager.
However there is no trace of Spotify elsewhere in the system.
I went through the registry and deleted every reference to Spotify that could find, although some refused to be deleted.
That made no difference.
The store shows that Spotify is installed. Which is strange.
However I found an entry in the Apps list in Start Menu, clicked uninstall and that cleared the problem.

 

Cortana - Spotify problem

So when I tell Cortana to play a song on spotify she does successfully finds the songs but doesn't actually play it. She just brings up spotify without changing the song.

I found this fix:

• 1. Unlink Cortana (in her settings)
• 2. Revoke Cortana app access (via accounts.spotify.com), and while you're logged on...
• 3. Set up an App Password especially if you're using facebook to log in (this may not be neccessary, but I did so just to circumvent all potnetial issues).
• 4. Uninstall Spotify
  
  5. Install Spotify from the Windows Store (I believe the actual cause of the issue is that those of us with the problem probably installed from the Spotify Installer download, rather than
  the Windows Store).
• 6. Launch and log in to the Spotify app with the app password you created in step three.
  
  7. Link Cortana using the app password you created in step three.
• 8. Restart your computer (my Cortana didn't think Spotify was installed until I did so).
  
  9. Enjoy hands-free music browsing!

The problem with this tho is that it only works untill i shut down/restart the PC. After that I need to redo this all again in order for it to work and its really frustrating to do this everytime I open my computer.
