I downloaded Windows 10 Pro yesterday, it went smoothly. But when I tried to use iTunes it wouldn't play any music at all, and when trying to play telly shows, it just froze on whatever the image originally was (ie where the program was when it was last used).
Is anyone else having playing problems with Win 10 and iTunes? Is there something extra I should do ?
Cheers 🙂
Other OS, Windows 10
Go to edit->preferences in iTunes, and click the playback icon. Make sure "play audio using" is set to "windows audio session" (mine was set to "direct sound"). Making that single change fixed mine and I was experiencing the exact same problems, Windows 10 Pro. After trying in vain for a week to find a solution to the problem I was about ready to reinstall iTunes. For some reason, the Windows 10 installation changed my audio settings in iTunes when it removed a Dolby audio file on my computer that's no longer supported.
Hope this helps you.
I was wondering how I was going to get iTunes to open -- when the problem was that it wasn't opening.
After right-clicking the iTunes shortcut and running as Administrator. My work-around was to change the shortcut to open as Administrator every time. I'm guessing they'll work better together in the next iTunes or Windows update.
I am having the same trouble except when I try to change preferences it makes iTunes freeze just like when the iPod is plugged in, any other ideas mate on what is best to do?
I had this problem too with not being able to play songs and video freezing on the original image, not playing, after updating to Windows 10. The problem had to do with the sound driver.
Even though the sound driver was showing as up to date in my Device Manager, I needed to uninstall and reinstall the sound driver.
iTunes now works for me.
If you're having problem with not seeing actual window for itunes or not seeing the ipod, iphone, ipad icon in itunes, freezing. Then exit out of itunes, right click on launch icon, go to Properties > Compatibilty > go down to Change All Users and click it > and Check the box that says Run As Administrator. That should fix that issue.
For me it was the other way around: Changing "Play audio using" to "Direct Sound" in iTunes' settings fixed it, before it was set to "Windows Audio Session". Differs per system, apparently. (I have Windows 10 Home)
Excellent fix.
Direct sound, restart itunes... sound.

thanks
This worked for me as well. Changed "Play audio using" to "Direct Sound" and restarted Windows.
