![]() iTunes is taking over 5 minutes to open.When starting or closing iTunes in Win11,… - Apple Community But, what is happening?Ĭlosest thread with same issue (no answers) If I force-quit (terminate) iTunes from the task manager.then there is no issue, my PC is behaving normally! If I close it normally, then for 2 minutes, I can't do anything on the computer (from opening apps and even folders or clicking on icons on the desktop). I've never had an app do that, on this PC or any other. There is no high CPU, memory, or disk usage.so no idea why it is slowing down the entire PC. Once it finally closes, my computer returns to normal. What I've found, is that when I close iTunes, it remains along with its associated apps, active in the task manager for ~2 minutes. To be clear, the issue occurs with the default library just after install, no music/photos/iPhone backup, not even with my own migrated library.Also uninstalled my iPhone driver from device manager before iTunes install, or after.Installed iTunes when disconnected from internet, shutting down all antivirus, and installed as Admin then launched iTunes also as administrator = same issues.Installed an older iTunes version, 12.10.11.Installed iTunes 12.12.7.1 directly from the Apple site, or Microsoft store. ![]() Cleaned up all remaining folders, even the registry.

My PC is fine, completely validated with memory & CPU extensive testing, and literally everything works perfectly fine and is the fastest PC I've ever had with the latest/best generation Intel processor, RAM, and SSD.except when I start or close iTunes. In 20+ years of troubleshooting/building computers, I've never seen that. It's not happening on my other multiple Windows 10 PCs, only on my newer Windows 11 PCs. And uninstalling/installing from Apple's website or the Microsoft store hasn't worked (see below). There's obviously something happening with iTunes, Windows 11, and something specific with some hardware/software conflicts, because I'm clearly not the only one with this issue based on a Google search. This lasts for 2 minutes, then everything is back to normal. But the big issue is that, when I close it, my *whole computer* gets slow: opening folders, right clicking on the desktop, opening Edge, etc. Everything is lightning fast, from Photoshop to movie editing, and opens virtually instantaneously.Except iTunes, which takes 30 seconds to load. I installed iTunes 12.12.7.1 (latest version) from a direct download on Apple's site, on a Windows 11 PC with a fast Samsung NVMe SSD drive, 64 GB DDR5, i7 processor.
