    iTunes Slow to Load


    iTunes is taking about 60s to load on my fast SSD based desktop PC when all other programs load within a few seconds. ITunes loads quickly once closed then restarted. I've tried the usual fixes of completely uninstalling & reinstalling iTunes, turning off syncing options & Genius and rebuilding the library to no avail. A Google search shows this is a common problem but the usual fixes mentioned don't work. Any ideas?

    :)

    Windows 10 extremely slow after Feb. 6, 2016 update KB3135173

    My computer was running great until this last update. Now everything loads very slow. The programs I use open slow and run slow, particularly Firefox and ITunes. last night I had to backup my ipad and I thought ITunes would never open!

    I have several portable apps that I use from thumb drives.....ridiculously slow.

    Does anyone have a solution for this, or can I roll back the update? I was hoping I had a restore point from earlier in the year but cant find one.

    Help!

    Marketplace app refund

    Did you look in the Games Hub? It doesn't install to the full app list.



    I have had no issues at all with Marketplace. Not sure what is so "f**king terrible" about Marketplace for you. What are your specific gripes? I personally find the interface with Zune a much better experience than with iTunes. iTunes is slow to load on
    my machine and takes forever to load data. Zune is much faster and I find what I want a lot easier.

    Loads slow for me. Are your data files (music, app backup, etc) on HD? Mine are and that involves a 12 gb load of data before program initiates.

    Yes, my files are on a hard disk but I only have c. 1000 tracks. Sometimes iTunes loads fast, sometimes it's slow - go figure.

    iTunes Slow to Load

    I've found that if I've just waken windows from sleep or just restarted it, system services eat up processing - including windows cloud and win defender. iTunes takes very long to get any priority. Check Task Manager to see if you have conflicts when iTunes is trying to load.
