Ever since I updated my iTunes to the new version yesterday, it keeps freezing. I can play a few songs but it will always freeze in the middle or toward the end of a song and then you can't bring it back to life. When you force quit on cntrl-alt-delete it shows that iTunes is not responding. This happened a number of times on both Windows 10 and Windows 11 machines.

Windows, Windows 10
I have the same problem on Windows 11 since upgrading to 12.9.4. After a few minutes of working with my library (usually editing a Playlist) iTunes freezes and I'm forced to do an End Task. Interestingly, while the screen freezes, if I have a song playing, it keeps playing. I've read a bunch of articles online and tried Safe Mode, Administrator Mode, disabling anti-virus, running Repair, auto-sync is disabled, cleared iTunes cache, disabled APSDaemon.exe, etc, but nothing fixes the problem and I really DO NOT want to have to re-install iTunes. HELP!
Agreed. Crickets. Unacceptable. Apple where are you??
The bug fix can't some soon enough. I wish someone would let us know it's coming and when. It's frustrating to have to restart my iTunes a dozen times a day.
I have been experienching the same problem. I am using Windows 10. Very unfortunate problem :/
Yep, same problem with me on windows 11. Hoping for a fix soon
Same for me and now (June 16, 2023), I can no longer search for anything without it freezing. This has been a long month.

Update: I've switched to Spotify.
... and I turned off Auto-updates LOL :)
Spotify ticked me off (talk about a tone-deaf company) & that's why I'm using Apple now. No way I want to go back to them, even if their player is better.
Hello,
Am curious, this morning the MS Appstore offers an update from iTunes.
Let's hope that Apple has solved the problem.

I downloaded version 12.12.10.1 and it did not fix mine.
Hello,
Unfortunately, the version 12.12.10.1 released today, does not fix the problem - iTunes still hangs on various actions.

Hi Garth,
I have the exact same issue and as of September 16, 2023, I'm still dealing with this problem. Have you found a solution yet?
Thank you kindly,
No luck. Still just ending task and restarting.
Me also, because of this I’m seriously thinking of changing to android. iTunes is just terrible!
Come on apple please do something about this it’s really frustrating.
