Keep getting device disconnection errors over a week after first disconnection.

So I installed iTunes to update my device to iPad OS 15. Regretted that, and can’t go back as iTunes deleted my backup. But that’s not what the point of this thread is.

Since I don’t need iTunes, I just uninstalled it, as I have a different software. But now, randomly I just get pop ups saying something along the lines “Your device has been disconnected,” which says it’s coming from iTunes, which shouldn’t be possible considering I UNINSTALLED IT.

I just want to use my laptop, but it just won’t go away, over a week after first disconnecting it, they still randomly appear, and somehow, they’re getting more frequent. How do I get these pop ups to go away?

Windows, Windows 10

As I said, perhaps iTunes is not completely uninstalled from your computer.

I'm curious to know what software could possibly be more suitable for managing an iPad than iTunes. After all, Apple wrote iTunes specifically for their devices, so you would think that they know best how to do it.

I use iMazing, as it’s just easier to manage things like my apps, and backups. It actually lets you update in the software, but it’s a paid feature, which is why I downloaded iTunes.

There is something running in the background called “iPod Service” so maybe it’s that, but it just seems odd for something to be giving disconnection errors over a week later.
