Lately when I buy music from itunes it asks me to authorize my device. If correct I only have 5 and have now used 2 on same device and still asking. I have purchased music that I cannot access. This is a fairly recent issue. Using 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.
If that hasn't helped see If iTunes prompts you to authorize your computer when you try to play iTunes Store purchases - Apple Support.
