iTunes take 15 minutes to load after installing iTunes 12.12.1.1 from Microsoft Store
I am aware of the recent issues with iTunes 12.12.0.6 upgrade that failed per discussion thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253164287 (iTunes version 12.12.0.6 only works on English-language Windows, crashes on startup when Windows UI is in a different language)
My Windows UI is set to English (Australia) and I suffered the problem described so what I did was;
- Uninstall 12.12.0.6
- Installed iTunes 12.11.4.15 which I downloaded from Apple via https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6562 which worked perfectly
iTunes behaved well and started normally.
Today I noted that the Windows 10 Store again offered iTunes and now it supports Windows UI set to English (Australia).
So what I did was
- Uninstall iTunes 12.11.4.15 as instructed in https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204275
- reboot
- Install iTunes 12.12.1.1 from Windows Store successfully
iTunes 12.12.1.1 works fine once it starts but takes 15 - 20 minutes to start-up!!!!
Any thoughts!
