Uninstall iTunes from Windows

If you’d like to remove iTunes from your Windows computer in the future for whatever reason, you can simply uninstall it like any other software.

From Control Panel

If you used the direct download link to download and install iTunes, then you can use this method to remove iTunes from your Windows PC. However, if you installed it from Microsoft Store, then you need to see the method given in the next section below.

1. Open the Programs and Features Control Panel applet by typing in appwiz.cpl in the Run Command box.

   

2. Here, right-click on iTunes and then click Uninstall from the context menu.

   

3. If asked for confirmation, click Yes.

   

4. iTunes will now be removed from your computer. However, additional components may have been installed on your PC alongside iTunes if you used the direct download link, which includes the following:

   • Apple Software Update
   • Bonjour
   • Apple mobile support for iTunes

   If so, you might need to uninstall them individually using steps 2 & 3 above.

From Settings App

If you installed iTunes from Microsoft Store, then you may not see it in the Programs and Features applet. Thus, you must use the given method below to remove it from your PC:

1. Navigate to the following:

   Settings app >> Apps >> Installed Apps

2. Here, search for “iTunes,” and then click on the ellipses (3 dots) in front of it.

   

3. Now click Uninstall from the expanded menu.

   

4. When asked for confirmation, click Uninstall again.

   

This will now remove iTunes from your computer.

Closing Words

To some, iTunes for Windows does not make sense. Some people believe that if you are going to be using Apple devices like iPads and iPods, might as well get a Macbook instead of a Surface device. However, everyone has their own preferences and needs.

An individual might be used to the Windows operating system but likes having the features Apple offers on its tablets. This is why Apple has taken into consideration all types of its audience and designed an updated iTunes for the Windows operating system with support for its latest products.
