My computer not authorized to play purchased content from I-Tunes

This keeps happening. I purchase an album and after down-loading, it won't allow me to play 1 or 2 songs from the album. I get a notice that my computer is "not authorized" to play that song. How do I fix this? I have a PC (Windows 10), not a Mac.

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.
