Apple iTunes on Windows 10 - How to RESTORE my Music Library which is transferred into Apple Music Application ?

Question

Apple iTunes on Windows 10 - How to RESTORE my Music Library which is transferred into Apple Music Application ?

Yesterday I downloaded and installed the App. "Apple Music" from Microsoft Store (since my PC works with Windows 10).

The Application transferred my whole iTunes Library from iTunes to the new App. "Apple Music".

Today loading iTunes on the PC, I was fully embarrassed when I realized that My Library and iTunes had nothing to do with my old Library and only some "podcasts" were left.

The question now is how to restore My original Library and App. in my iTunes.

Please HELP

Well dear Z-Salem you are on the point.

This solution worked in my case.

I only want to add a comment on the procedure:

After uninstalling Apple Music, rebooting the system, and launching iTunes there are two more steps inside iTunes.

Sign in with an Apple account and
Windthrow in the account all subscriptions concerning Apple Music (Apple TV etc..)

The unsolved issue now is how to use Apple Music without facing all this trouble...

... Perhaps inside iTunes?

Thanks a lot for the advice.

It's not a fault, it's a feature! Installing Apple Music, Apple TV or Apple devices intentionally limits any iTunes installation such that thereafter it only displays sections for podcasts and audiobooks. I've really no idea why Apple chose this approach, although it does make side by side comparisons of the two applications much harder. Until there are some genuine benefits to using Apple Music over iTunes on the Windows platform I suggest you stick with iTunes.
