I suspect you have installed Apple Music for Windows, Apple TV for Windows, or Apple Devices for Windows. Installing any of these cripples iTunes leaving it only able to display audiobooks or podcasts. Uninstall whichever of the newer apps you have installed and iTunes should return to its former state.

The Apple Music service and the Apple Music for Windows apps are different things. The service can work in iTunes or the app with confusingly the same name. See Authorization vs. association - Apple Community for background on why you should not attempt to manage content from multiple IDs on one computer. If you have cancelled your Apple Music subscription and turned off Sync Library then you will no longer have access to Apple Music subscription content, or any of your matched/uploaded tracks that are not stored locally on your computer. In your screenshot above if you click the dropdown tool that shows Podcasts do you see Music, Movies, etc. or only an entry for Audiobooks? If it only shows Audiobooks and Podcasts then I refer you to my earlier post in this thread.


If you really have lost local content, but it is still on a device, see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - Apple Community.
