Windows 10: iTune Error after Win 10 update 1809

After updating Win 10 to 1809, iTunes no longer loads with this error message. Any solutions? Not long lectures as though I have a PhD in Computer Programming!

iTunes & Win 10

After a recent Win 10 update, I can no longer download any purchased songs from iTunes store. I did a complete uninstall of iTunes and this did not correct the problem. Any suggestions?

 

iTunes fails to install on Windows 10 with error 2

Hi Mark,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

I understand your concern that you are unable to access iTunes on Windows 10.

Do let us know the complete error notification along with error code?

I suggest you to uninstall the iTunes software, download the latest version and try to install in compatibility mode on Windows 10.

Follow the steps to install in Compatibility mode:

• Download the updated software from the manufacturer’s website.

• Right click the software installation file and select
  Properties then tap or click the Compatibility tab.
• Place a check in the Run this program in compatibility mode for: box.
  
• Tap the drop down box and select a previous operating system, then tap or click
  OK.
• Try installing the iTunes software and check.

Hope it helps. Reply to the post with an updated status of this issue for further assistance.

 

iTunes in Win 10

Here's a tricky one for you (well I think it is anyway!)


One of the casualties of my upgrade to Win 10 Home was my iTunes library. Basically, iTunes could no longer find my music, even though it hadn't moved. To cut a long story short, I ended up creating a new
library and all was well - or so I thought. Since then, however, every time I boot my PC, iTunes loads at startup, and the curious thing is that there is no reference to the programme in any of the startup folders, nor in Task Managers Start Up list. I also
use CCleaner, and that also shows that nothing apple related should be running at startup.

Clearly something is causing iTunes to run - any ideas? I should add, there are no iPods connected to the PC, and iTunes helper is also disabled via CCleaner.

Steps taken so far:

• Un-installed iTunes, then re-installed. Still runs at start up
• Tried loading Windows with all services disabled - iTunes still auto starts
• Found a restore point prior to iTunes misbehaving. Restored to that point - iTunes still auto starts
• Un-installed iTunes again, this time using Revo Uninstaller Pro. It found a shed load
  of registry entries and files etc left behind after the standard install. Removed the lot, and then did the same for Bonjour; Quick Time; and all the other sundry Apple programmes and services. Rebooted
  - all good. Re-installed iTunes from scratch - not good. Back to auto running at start up.

Just to check my sanity, I installed iTunes on our lap top (also Win 10). It runs fine, with no auto loading issues. Seriously, what the hell is going on here, why won't iTunes play nicely on my PC? There
surely has to be a rogue registry entry somewhere causing the issue. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Cliff
