Hi, I'm using the latest iTunes 12.3.3 on Windows 7 64-bit with Intel Core i5 and RAM 8GB. Every time I run iTunes, everything becomes so slow. I checked my PC's performance in Task Manager and the CPU usage is at 100%. The stranger part is that even if I close iTunes, it's still consuming my CPU to 100%. I've tried to re-install it many times. I have even downloaded it three times but nothing helps.
Hi salonpas,
Sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues with iTunes on your PC. Let's see if we can get that sorted out.
Now I know you have already uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled, but have you done it in the order listed in the article below. If it is not done in that order, typically issues will still remain when using iTunes. The order that it needs to be done in is as follows.
- iTunes
- Apple Software Update
- Apple Mobile Device Support
- Bonjour
- Apple Application Support 32-bit
- Apple Application Support 64-bit
Once you have done this, try the installation again.
Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows 7 and later

Let me know if this helps.
Have a good day!

Hey salonpas,
Glad to hear that this helped you out.
Take it easy!
Hey, man, I'm sorry but this thing still happens sometimes. I've done your suggestion and after that it's fine for a couple of times but then iTunes consuming my CPU usage again. I mean it's kinda annoying to do this numerous times. Do you have other solutions?
Hello salonpas,
Not much beyond that. The next thing to do would be to contact Apple Support to have them take a look at it. You can start that by using the link outlined below.
