iTunes always asks for log in, even if I already did it.

If I want to play a song in iTunes(on PC), the pop-up message always says "The song "..." cannot be played because you are not signed in to Apple Music - You must be signed in to Apple Music in order to play Apple Music songs.". This happens even if I log out, and log in again into my account, still can't play any songs. I have already tried to fully shut down iTunes in the task manager, and then restart my computer, but I'm still having this issue. Any solution for this? Do I have to delete my iTunes app and reinstall it, or what? It starts to get very annoying.

Windows, Windows 10

Actually, I have solved this problem myself. I don't know if this question will still exist in the future, but if it will, I leave my solution for this here. So, I tried to remove all the downloads and then download again all my songs, and iTunes asked me to authorize my device. So I thought this must be something to do with my sign-in-popup-message-problem. I just went to Account, then I had to log in to my Apple ID again. I logged in, then under the "Apple ID Summary" you can find "Computer Authorisations:". Deauthorize them all. Then, go back to Account->Authorizations->Authorize this computer. And boom. Problem solved. I don't have any problems with iTunes since then. I don't have to go to radio first, I don't have to delete one of my songs and then download it again, everything's just works the way it should.

Please leave this question and this answer up, maybe it will help others with the same issue.

Thanks.
