iPod Windows 10/11 Drivers for ITunes

REF Apple case: 101850370179

I've been trying to get Apple to update iTunes installers to make iPod recognized as an AppleUSB device on Windows 64bit 10/11 by updating the Registry.

Even tried snail-mail (ref case) but keep getting the run-a-round.

On my old Win7 64bit desktop rig I could get my iPod recognized in iTunes by retrying several times, but with my new Win10 64bit desktop rig iTunes NEVER recognizes my iPod.

Please help me get Apple's attention to implement the Registry update for Win10/11.

Windows, Windows 6

See iOS device not showing in iTunes for Windows - Apple Community and follow the steps carefully. You must explicitly force Windows to use the drivers you select rather that letting it tell you that it already has the best drivers.

Since the Ventura 13.0.1 Update, iPods won't load Ever since updating to Ventura 13.0.1, none of my iPod shuffles will load on my Mac Desktop (I have a few that I still use for running with different playlists). When I attach one, it briefly shows in the Finder, then disappears before I can do anything with it. In Apple Music, it shows, but either says "this ipod is in use in another window" or "device can not be found." I've restarted a couple of times, and it makes no difference. Bottom line is, I can no longer load/replace music on these devices. Any thoughts, work-arounds, advice? Thanks!

Again, "machine in disk mode"...?

On my rig 'E: iPod....AppleUSB device' is listed.

Are you saying I can change E: to an USB Hard Drive?

If 'yes' how?

If I haven't made it clear before I'm just a fellow user. I have no access to Apple's software or support teams.
