Q: apple software update

Apple Software Update (version 2.2.0.150) for Windows notifies that new software is available from Apple each time it runs: It wants to install the latest version of iTunes — despite already having the latest version of iTunes installed. This has been an issue for months now; about since around the time I upgraded to Windows 10 in the Fall of 2015.

iTunes, Windows 10

I suspect you'll need to do a full tear down and rebuild of iTunes. Apple's software doesn't seem to react well to an in place upgrade of Windows. See the second box of Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for details.

Hi, thanks for your reply. Could you elaborate on what you mean and what's involved in "a full tear-down and rebuild of iTunes"? Also, the link you provided does not work. If you would edit or add-to your previous post, that would be most helpful. Thanks again!
