Computer Authorization

Hi! I usually use iTunes on my iPhone, but I opened iTunes on my computer today and when I try to play certain songs, the songs will not play and the computer authorization window pops up. This computer has been authorized for a long time. I de-authorized it, then re-authorized it. I've made sure that I have the latest download for iTunes and restarted my computer. I'm not sure what else to do. Thanks in advance for any help with this!

Windows, Windows 10

Repeated requests to authorize an already authorized computer for recent store downloads typically indicates you have corrupt or incomplete copies. Delete the tracks that won't play from your library without hiding from your purchase history. Redownload using the cloud links that should remain, or close iTunes and reopen if they don't show up straight away. While downloading click the activity widget and turn off the option that allows for simultaneous downloads.
