Describe the bug
All .\spotify-player.exe <command> commands return
Error: try to connect to a client Caused by: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. (os error 10054)

To Reproduce
Install Rust
Install the v0.18.2 binary for Windows
(Also tested this by installing with scoop, same behavior)
Extract the binary, open powershell/cmd and run .\spotify-player.exe to add credentials
Run any subcommand

Expected behaviour
The subcommand gets executed as expected, sending the request to spotify api.

Log and backtrace
Backtrace was empty, log provided

Screenshots

Environment

OS: Windows 11 Home, version 23H2, build 22631.3593
Application version: v0.18.2

Additional context
Seemed to work fine via the GUI in ps/cmd, was able to connect to the client and use controls just fine. Only happens when using CLI. Also tried with providing my own clientId for a valid application (also worked with GUI but not CLI)

I don't have access to windows machine, so it's hard for me to debug this kind of issue. Seeking for help 👀
