iTunes freezes when I search for a song

Every time I search for a song, iTunes will freeze. It’s doing it more frantically now and I need to sort this asap

The general troubleshooting advice when iTunes fails to install properly (and reinstalling or repairing it does not work) is to remove not only iTunes but all related components, reboot, remove the target installation folders and reinstall. See the Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components section in:

This should not affect your iTunes library. But you should always back it up first before making any changes.
