For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

I completely cleaned my computer of iTunes, and reinstalled it. Tried new user account and still the same. It only works in the method I explained before, so I figure the alternate program that I installed, when launched, opens iTunes for me and maybe blocks whatever is causing the hang up., but only for the first use. iTunes still works even when I close the alternate program, as long as I keep iTunes running....once its closed that's it, it freezes when I open it again.

ITunes starts to prepare the apps for downloading then falls over with a message 'iTunes has stopped working' !!!
Come on apple pull your finger out or will it be the usual 'bury your head in the sand'

Jan 6, 2015 4:02 PMby DMD247Ca,Ok, I have tried some compatibility setting using program compatibility troubleshooting, and if I use windows 8 compatibility, it still froze, then when it ask "did this work" I clicked "No try different settings" then I checked off" program doesn't display properly", and "additional permissions required". I then click test program... It open as it is suppose to, and runs fine. I save new settings, still fine. While program compatibility trouble-shooter is still open, I open and close the program several times and all is fine. I have now closed the Trouble shooter and it is still working,... I did however had to go through this process several times until it stayed working, who knows what will happen when I shut down my computer....I'll let you know...
'
The only difference is that now I get the" do you want this program to make changes to your computer" warning that I just have to give permission....
