iTunes using all of available VRAM on Gaming Laptop

I have had an issue, running either the Microsoft Store or iTunes download in Windows 11. The iTunes application grabs as much VRAM as it can then locks up. For Bonus Points, if iTunes is maximized it locks up the whole laptop. I have tried almost every tip and trick to fix this with no luck. I then looked at what was using the most resources and found that a service that runs a scheduled defrag of my hard disk was running as well. I stopped the service, and the resources were reduced, and iTunes would behave. I navigated to my C: drive, Tools and Optimize and Defrag Drive. I unselected scheduled optimization and I have not had the problem since. iTunes was the only application that would do this while Scheduled Defrag was running.
