Is a firewall may be blocking Spotify? How to check and fix it? or Why is Spotify not working? Could

a firewall may be blocking spotify, but here’s a weird one: check your hosts file.

sometimes malware or dumb apps edit it and block spotify. go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc, open "hosts" in notepad (as admin), and delete any lines with spotify in them.

save and restart. if that’s not it, then firewall’s the likely suspect.
