  1. Unable to open iTunes


    A Windows update corrupted the registry so the operating system had to be reloaded. The following message then appeared when I tried to open iTunes. I then downloaded the latest iTunes upgrade but the message is the same: Message: The file "iTunes Library .itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.

    :)

  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.
