I'm running Windows 10 and think I may have found a solution (at least for Windows 10 users). What I did was this:


Right clicked on my desktop and selected "Display Settings".

Selected "Display" on the Left

Under "Customize Your Display" I noticed that it gave me the option to "sign out now" I signed out then signed back in. This seemed to be the move that really fixed everything!


Once I signed back in I right clicked on my desktop and selected "Display Settings" again.

I then Selected "Display" on the Left

Under "Customize Your Display" I selected "Advanced Display Settings" and made sure I was on the "recommended resolution setting of 1280 x 1024 (I have an older monitor).


In short, it appears that what really changes things is selecting the "sign out now" option. I'm not sure why, but as soon as I did this and then signed back in I could change the resolution setting AND the scaling from, say, 100 to 150 without any problems. All of my programs, including I-tunes looked normal.


Hope this helps...

Actually, I meant to type that you may need to play around with the scaling a bit after completing all the steps above. I found that 100 worked for I-tunes but made it difficult to read the font in other programs, whereas 150 worked for programs except I-tunes. Setting the scaling at 125 after completing all the steps above solved the issue in my case. Now all programs look normal, including I-tunes.

I tried what cbrown965 suggested and in some ways it worked, but in other ways it didn't and actually caused other problems. Yes, Itunes store looked normal... but many other problems started occurring after. I noticed a lot of issues... miniaturized desktop icons, favorites bar in Internet Explorer shrank, and many programs all had display issues at the 125% scaling. Also, for some inexplicable reason, my eyes started to become strained and hurt after looking at my monitor, which never happens.


After taking a long break from looking at the screen, I went back to see if it was just me, but no... my eyes started hurting again after about 5-10 minutes. Strangely the problem persisted after I turned the scaling back off. (100%) And all the icons stayed miniaturized.


So, I would not suggest doing what cbrown965 says even though it does "fix" the Itunes Store properly.

As just mentioned, the latest "fix" here in this thread describes the actual defect pretty well. Decent software can handle the change to display setting in Windowz, iTunes can't. Your changing your settings is just tweaking your Windowz config to allow iTunes to work. This then renders everything else poorly. Apple obviously doesn't test much on the Windowz side and this is what get unfortunately for using Apple software.
