iTunes 12.3.1.23 breaks iTunes store

Just installed 12.3.1.23 and now the iTunes store just presents a scrambled banner across the top and a black screen. You can briefly see the correct screen as it loads but then is blanked out. Clicking on the banner brings up Demi Lovatos new album but the screen is completely scrambled. Win 7.1 (64), nVidia with latest driver.

Same for me, think apple have missed this one. Spoke to them on the phone and they said they dont know anything about it, but that was just a call centre chap rather then their 3rd line techs. Heyho it's itunes and it never works as it shold for very long, i accept that now over the years of it being a pain to use.


Would be nice if Apple can fix this one though.

If anything the problem is worse. Now, in addition to the black screen when the window is full screen on large pixel count monitors, there are flickering play arrows all over the place. Fortunately shrinking the window still works. Apparently Apple cares a lot more about selling content to Mac users than Windows users 😟


And them saying they didn't know about it is total bunk. Many have called their support lines to report this.

Temporary Solution: On high resolution monitors more than 2048 pixels wide, the iTunes window needs to be shrunk to a smaller size. Do not run maximized. Shrink the iTunes window until the Store renders properly.


This appears to be a rendering issue with higher resolution monitors.


My current resolution is 2560x1440, Windows 10 Pro, iTunes 12.3.2.35. iTunes Store and the New Tab will properly display until an iTunes resolution of about 2048 pixels wide. Anything wider than that, the windows starts going crazy.


I think it has to do with the "Highlight" album and artist selections at the top of the browser. I think it can't draw correctly past 2048 pixels. And since that's a base 2 number (2^11), it's probably a programming error within the iTunes browser.


I spoke to a "Michele" through Apple Support and she documented everything I found and marked it as a bug.
