      Hello Viney,
      First of all, congratulations for this website, clear, straight to the point and I have leant a lot from it on Win 10, thanks!

      Secondly, unfortunately I have not fixed the problem with iTunes not starting in Win 10, I have gone through all the steps suggested but no joy!
      This problem has occurred since I have updated to the latest version of iTunes. On my MAC, Ipad and iPhone, all is fine (obviously, they are Apple devices) but (again) it’s Microsoft being fussy with Apple Apps. What else could I do? Thanks in advance for your reply!

      Marco
