The intent, it seems, was to be backward-compatible with earlier Windows 7-10 Bluetooth hardware drivers, but it hasn't been a seamless success.
I wouldn't have guessed that iTunes would deal directly with Bluetooth under Windows, but various recent postings suggest that it does, and that the Windows 10 Creator release handles Bluetooth differently under the covers than earlier releases of Windows 10 did. Other postings on this topic suggest that this iTunes vs Windows 10 Creator problem is somehow Bluetooth-related. To me the most suspicious one looks like the one that started at !GdipDisposeImage+0x4020, is roughly forty levels deep in its call stack, and is waiting at !ZwAlpcSendWaitReceivePort+0x14 for the condition WrtLpcReply. It has five "real" threads, each of them waiting for something. This morning I used Windows' Task Manager, Sysinternals' procexp.exe, and Debugging Tools for Windows 10 (WinDbg) to get more information about the hung iTunes.exe process. Does Apple see an iTunes incompatibility with the latest version of Windows as a problem? Is there a fix in the works? Does anyone know a reliable work-around? ITunes for Windows is still an important part of why many people buy iPhones and iPads. ) that iTunes needs to access are located on SMB shares that Administrator can't see. I have also read that launching iTunes as Administrator works under Windows 10 v.1703, but that wouldn't help me since the bazillions of files (music, photos, backups. I had read that an interaction with the Bluetooth icon tray app BTTray.exe might cause similar behavior under Windows 10 v.1703, so I set the registry variable \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Widcomm\BTConfig\General\BtTrayInStartup to 0, rebooted, and checked that indeed bttray.exe wasn't running, but it didn't solve my iTunes problem. So I downloaded and installed the latest iTunes for 圆4 Windows, v 12.6 (and rebooted for luck), but nothing changed.
The Task Manager showed an 9.0MB quiescent iTunes process that wasn't there before the launch attempt. The little spinner turned for four seconds, and then. After the update (and a couple of reboots just for luck), I tried launching my previously-installed iTunes.
Today I updated my Windows 10 Home installation on a 64-bit laptop to "Creator", version 1703.
