Stuck on step 3 when syncing

Here it goes, I will provide as much information as possible.

I recently updated my PC to windows 10 the first day it was available, July 29th or something along those lines, I'm not sure if this is the root cause but its when I started having syncing problems with my iPod touch 5th gen. I have a gaming PC and am very picky with what I allow on my computer.

So, when I plug my iPod into the USB port it will pull up iTunes and begin to sync, steps 1 and 2 are fine. However, once I get to step 3 the progress line moves very slow then gets stuck at the end after about a minute or two. It gets unstuck and decides to "copy artwork", there after it starts this process it will freeze completely. Once it freezes it actually causes my whole computer to act weird. My computer will then automatically disconnect iPod and reconnect. It then just goes thru this cycle over and over and over again. Because it does this I am unable to load new music.

How I can resolve this problem?
