I was prompted to update earlier today, and then iTunes wouldn't open anymore.
I have uninstalled iTunes & supports, restarted computer and reinstalled. iTunes still won't open.
My music is stil accessible on the computer in My Library, but I can't use the iTunes program at all.
Please help!
iTunes-OTHER, Windows 7
Thank you. Worked my way through your fine examples and got back to sanity again. Well done
I couldn't find the specific file in the "Process" tab in Task Manager but I went ahead and cleared out any program running by Apple Inc. and then my iTunes opened up! 🙂
On my computer (Windows 10), I held down shift and ctrl together and double clicked on the iTunes icon. This opens it in safe mode and bypassed visual plug-ins, whatever they are. It started without problem.
THANK YOU!! Stopping the Apple Push in the Task Manager works in Windows 10 too!
iTunes won't open on my Windows 7 PC.
