My 2-step authentication will not turn off?

My Windows version of Itunes will not allow me to turn off the two-factor authentication. I see where to change it but it will not let me.

Windows 10

You cannot turn it off.

Can I turn off two-factor authentication after I’ve turned it on?

"If you already use two-factor authentication, you can no longer turn it off. Certain features in the latest versions of iOS and macOS require this extra level of security, which is designed to protect your information. If you recently updated your account, however, you can unenroll for a period of two weeks. Just open your enrollment confirmation email and click the link to return to your previous security settings. Keep in mind, this makes your account less secure and means that you can't use features that require a higher level of security."
