Windows 10: Every time I update to 20h2, it uninstalls my iTunes software and it's starting to get...

I really want to update to the new windows but I won't if it keeps doing this

For some reason everytime I go to install this update, Windows removes several apps/software of mine, including iTunes

This wouldn't be such a big deal but I have extensive playlists and building them over from scratch is not something I want to do

Is there any way I can prevent this from happening, or will I be stuck with the 19 version (or whatever it's called)? I'm a bit of an idiot when it comes to tech

Cannot install iTunes

Hello,

What version of Windows are you using?

Did you follow the steps for uninstalling iTunes? If not, do so now.

Right click on Start > Select Control Panel > Uninstall Programs

Uninstall all of these applications

• iTunes Software
• Quicktime
• Apple Software Update
• Apple Mobile Support
• Bonjour (especially Bonjour, the most problematic and most difficult component to remove properly! )
  
• Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
• iPhone (if you have it loaded)
• and anything else related to iTunes — that’s the tough part where you need to be very careful
  

iTunes should be uninstalled in this process of elimination. Reboot the computer.

To install iTunes, follow these steps.

Step one - download the icloud control panel (do not install yet)

Step two - Run the installer as an administrator by right clicking the installer and running as administrator

Step three - after the install finishes, DO NOT reboot

Step four - run the apple software update program and install iTunes from there.

Step five - Reboot, and enjoy

 

iTunes won't connect to my iTunes Media directory

1. Uninstall iTunes completely. (I suggest using Geek Uninstaller. In my experience this does a good job of clearing remnants.)
2. Download and install latest iTunes from Apple, not Windows Store (Never use the Windows Store for iTunes.)
3. Check whether the Apple version allows you to point to your old media store.

Hope this helps...

 

Cannot Update iTunes After Upgrading to Windows 10

hi Magliore08.

I followed the steps you suggested but the problem still exists. Although the error message has changed.

the older version of iTunes cannot be uninstalled.

downloading the update goes through the whole process but stops every time at this point. any suggestions.

I have also tried going through as some one else suggested to manually uninstall itunes through control panel. same issue windows will not complete the process for me to start afresh.
