Hi. I went to the the answer below the question and turingtest2 posted to repair the apple update software and then reinstall the iTunes.


  1. First completely remove iTunes. Use Windows Apps and Features in settings - Scroll to itunes, click on it and then click Uninstall. Reboot your pc. I do this to insure all files are gone and reset memory etc.
  2. Go back to Apps and Features in Settings and Scroll down to Apple Update Software. click on it and Click "Modify" then Repair. It will repair and fix the Update software
  3. Download the latest iTunes update... 12.6... and go to File Explorer, folder Downloads. Find the iTunes64 setup file and right click it to install as Admin.
  4. In my case it worked. Good Luck and let me know if the instructions helped Cheers
