My iTunes won't launch on my windows pc. I don't get any error message, just no response. I've tried uninstall and reinstall. I've tried uninstall and manually deleting any file with iTunes in the name and reinstalling. Of course I have rebooted each time. Still no response.

You could change the properties of the shortcut so that it always runs iTunes as the administrator. Either that or perhaps some tweak to UAC settings would let it work normally. Can't say I know for certain as I haven't had to deal with it personally.
I've posted to your Windows 10 does not find device thread. If you have another question you can post a link to it in any thread where I have posted and I will endeavour to take a look.

TT2, thank you for your quick response. Using the right-click, Run as Administrator did get it to launch, but I'm required to do that every time. I'm also having some other issues, so I am going to follow the detailed uninstall-reinstall instructions and see if that solves my issues. I'll get back to you on my results one way or another. Thanks!
TT2,
So I did the complete uninstall of all the programs, in the proper sequence and made sure there were no lingering files. I made sure I reinstalled iTunes as the administrator. My system still requires me to right click on the shortcut in order to get the program to work. Repeated attempts confirm this. So I guess it is working, albeit a bit klugey. It does play songs again, so I guess I am grateful for that. Any thoughts on how I can get the shortcut to work normally would be appreciated. Note that if I click the start button in the lower left corner and navigate to the program, I have the same issue.
I have a different issue, one that I had prior to an extended vacation, that I am now able to return to. But I'll put up a separate post as it is a separate problem. Perhaps you could look at that one to?
Thanks!
tt2, I tried your suggestion to change the properties of the shortcut and that did work. The PC still asks me each time 'Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device' so it would be nice to make that go away. I see where I can change the sensitivity of the question to make it stop but that would work that way for all programs and that wouldn't necessarily work to my advantage. Making progress though.
Thanks!
You're welcome. 🙂
When reinstalling run the setup as administrator.
