Authorized PCs to Play Purchased Songs

I purchased a song on PC from iTunes Store. I see it in my library, but when I try to play it, it says my PC isn't authrized to play it. I log into Apple to authorize it and it says it is authorized (I have authorized 2 computers out of the maximum 5 permitted). However, when I try to play, it get the same message about not being authorized.

Windows, Windows 10

Computer authorization I purchase songs from the same computer and same account exclusively. There have been a couple of instances where I can not play the song on the computer I purchased it on. The computer is authorized, but when I try to play the song, it asks if I want to authorize the computer and even though it is authorized, I authorize it again, and I try to play the song, it asks if I want to authorize the computer again. I have purchased hundreds of song and only a few have done this. I can play them on my iphone or ipad, just not from the computer that I actually purchased them on. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Delete and redownload the song which won't play; if you get told that you'll be charged again, click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.
