TL DR: Spotify desktop and Microsoft App refuse to play songs not already in one of my playlist libraries and sometimes even refuses to play songs that are actually in one of my playlists. I don't know what system specs pertain to this, but I am on Windows 10 Pro 212H Build 19044.2788 The last time I remember everything for my Spotify working correctly is probably around November or December 2022, but I never realized that anything was broken until about a month or two ago when I was trying to listen to the Elden Ring OST, then I realized there was a problem. Has anyone else run into this problem? Does anyone know a fix? Everything works on Google Chrome version but the Chrome version lacks native Windows features and some other features, so this is not optimal for my user experience.Uninstalling Spotify and reinstalling Windows 10 version off of Microsoft Store.Uninstalling Spotify and reinstalling desktop version off of Spotify's website.From 3:25 - 4:40, just skip to 4:40 because there's a lull while installing the Microsoft Store version.

If I click the artist's play button from the search page, it doesn't work at all. If I click one of the many suggested playlists, they work.

The problem mainly comes from when I search for a song or artist and try to either play off their artist page or off of the search query page. Weird part is that sometimes, even some songs that I know are in one of my playlists do not play either! My problem is the opposite (for the most part) where Spotify won't play any songs unless they're already in one of my playlist libraries or are from Spotify's generated playlists for me. I keep trying to find a solution to this but only see problems about people saying Spotify keeps playing songs NOT in their playlist.
