Itunes Videos on Windows 10 Home are All Choppy on a New PC

“Something else you can try is increasing the priority of the iTunes process.”

Thank You tt2.

An Update: I performed that and lots of other stuff last night to get this to look pure and crisp, yet still to no avail.

After trying what you mentioned above and everything below, I still can't get iTunes to be 100% pure and crisp (though, it is much more crisp, I can assure you that. I’d say, maybe 85% better).

So, How I’ve Troubleshot This:

For Audio:

• Equalizing the Amperage: between audio of iTunes and the PC: 1044

For Video:

• The Best Fix: Downloading and installing the 64-bit iTunes version for older video cards. Had to:

1. Rid of: the iTunes Library file
2. Uninstall: the current iTunes version
3. Use: the new install version of iTunes.

• Disabling the Firewall: That made steaming a bit more faster. But, that made my PC a bit more vulnerable too. So, I re-enabled the firewall :’(

• Changing my Network Type: from “Public” to “Home” and that fixed it somewhat more.

• Running iTunes as the Administrator: Right-Click the iTunes icon and select Run as administrator.

• External Video: Ran this off of a projector. Tried mirroring the screen (which made no difference), and not mirroring the screen. Used HDMI cable (Monster brand BTW).

• Increasing iTunes’ Process Priority: As you recommended above. And yhat brought it up a bit.

• Chatted with (and their Reply):

1. Microsoft: (“Take this up with Apple”)
2. Apple: (“Take this up with Microsoft”)
3. HP: (“Let’s try a Hard-Reset of this PC”)

In conclusion, I think a hard-reset with no more than a 64-bit iTunes version for older video cards installation will give it a crisp install. We’ll see. All is backed up, so, look forward to an update of all of this tomorrow.

A Hard-Reset of the PC Fixed my Original Problem!: The choppiness of the video.

So, hard-reset you PC and all will be fine.

To do so, on my HP, I had to press the power button, then continuously tap the escape key. I pressed F11, and went on from there to perform the hard reset.

Performing a “Hard-Reset” of the HP:

So here’s the deal: HP is going to have me reset the computer.

With MS not liking Apple because of iTunes and with Apple not liking MS because of Windows, I had to go through HP.

The HP Rep says we’ll perform this reset on the morning.

I’ll post back on how all of this goes, as to whether or not this hard-reset fixes it. Look forward to a reply tomorrow.

Thank you tt2.

The issue persists, but now goes away after the progress bar disappears. Out of my projector it is still just fine, with no issues whatsoever.
