Q: Windows 10 - iTunes Won't Open Until iPhone Plugged In
Anyone else having this issue? newest iTunes (actually, the version before too) won't open until I physically hardwire my iPhone into my computer with the USB wire. Reinstalling iTunes (after uninstalling EVERY Apple product on my computer and reinstalling, to be sure it's clean) resolves the issue for a couple of runs, but then reverts back to this issue. If I double click on iTunes, it just won't open, sometimes if I leave it for a good 45 minutes it may open, but usually, nothing. However, once I connect my iPhone via USB, the application fires up automatically with no issues whatsoever and things work as they should.
Can't even manually launch in iTunes safe mode too.
Wondering if anyone else has had this issue, it's driving me insane now!!!
