I run iTunes for Windows10 on my PC. Simply stated I have loads of music that shows in the right directory. When I attempt to open/play the selection FROM that location, I get nothing. ALSO, that particular music isn't seen in iTunes. I've clicked on "Include in Library" many times, no result.
All help greatly appreciated.

So currently, you have not yet added the music to your iTunes Library? Presumably also, the music is not in the Automatically Add to iTunes folder? I personally do not use that folder, but I've always assumed that any song put into that folder will indeed be automatically added.
So if the music is in the Windows Music folder (which is perfectly acceptable), you now need to add the music to iTunes Library. This is achieved by using (in iTunes):
I'm not sure where you see "include in library" and the Open/Play options you see in the Windows File Manager will only play the song in iTunes if you have selected iTunes to be the default music player in Windows Settings.

You have to add the music in the folder to your iTunes first. Have you done that? Does the music appear in your iTunes Library?
No, it doesn't
Music is visible in directory but not in library?
