    iTunes not opening


    Hi team.


    This morning I discovered that my iTunes will not open, even though it worked fine a few days ago when I last used it.

    I have contacted Apple and they tried to troubleshoot including many attempts at installing via the Microsoft Store. Although the installation works fine, I am unable to launch.


    This is very annoying as I need to backup my phone and also want to sync my music.


    Help would be appreciated.


    Thanks,


    Sarah

    :)

  2. itunes opening automatically on login

    Hi,

    Thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

    I suggest you to follow the steps below to stop iTunes to open automatically:


    • Open Task Manager.

    • Select the Startup Tab.

    • Right click any app in the Startup menu and select Disable.
    If this does not fix the issue, then this needs to be taken care during installation of iTunes, so you may uninstall iTunes and reinstall it and make sure you check for the startup option during the setup wizard of iTunes.

    Hope this information is helpful. Please do let us know if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you.
