I would like to back up my phone on my PC computer but with the new iTunes update I don’t seem to be able to back up my phone like I previously could. Are you still able to do back ups on iTunes or is there a different way I can back up my phone without using my iCloud?

Thank you for the link. I have already tried that and it didn’t work. That’s why I wanted to know if you can still do it with the new iTunes update.
Yes, you can still back up your phone using your computer. However, "didn't work" isn't enough information for people to even begin to figure out what the issue is. What version Windows are you running? What model iPhone? What version of iOS? What happens when you try to back up the phone? Are you getting error messages? If so, exactly what do they say (screen shots are helpful)?
I have an iPhone SE 2020 with the latest iOS version and a Windows computer with the latest update. Normally, when you connect your phone to the computer and open iTunes, you should see a phone icon in the upper left-hand corner. Clicking on this icon allows you to have the option to back up your phone to the computer.
However, this feature doesn't seem to be available with my current setup. I was able to successfully back up my phone on a computer with a much older version of iTunes.
I do not get any error messages on my computer or phone. My phone does connect to my computer because it shows up and I can see the driver.

Is there a way I can back-up my iPhone without using my iCloud?
