Opening store crashes itunes on Windows 8.1

When I try to open iTunes store (or just wait for a few min as iTunes does it automatically once in a while) iTunes crashes without an error, just iTunes has stopped working.
Things I have tried:
The QTwin.dll thing
Change the enviroment PATH
uninstall clean registry reboot install etc ofc
Delete AppData Roaming and Local iTunes folders
safe mode for both iTunes and Windows but no dice
Move my Library
delete ituneslibrary...
create a fresh library
When I fire up itunes in another account it works just fine?
Could someone please help

I have the exact same propblem. Microsoft dialed in and changed something in the Environment settings, then I had a problem with duplicates thate weren't there and Apple helped with that without actually fixing the problem and now I have the crash problem just before the iTunes Store loads and now I can't sync anymore.
I have to go to the store on my iPhone which downloads it to iTunes but I can't move playlists to my iPhone anymore.
This is going to cost me another $20 for Apple phone support. Wish I had an answer but no one seems to have one at Microsoft or Apple.

ITunes store crashes iTunes (on Windows 7)

Hello,
When I try to access iTunes store, then iTunes crashes with an unexpected error.
It's the latest version of iTunes.
I tryed to reinstall it, unlink the PC and link it with my apple account ... unsolved problem.
Thanks for your help.
Regards.

"You can add the PATH enviromental variable in Control Panel> System> Advanced System Settings.
Alternatively, I was successful just copying the QTMovieWin.dll from c:\program files (x86)\common files\apple\apple application support\ INTO c:\program files (x86)/iTunes"

ITunes store crashes iTunes on Windows 8.1

I recently updated windows to windows 8.1, and since doing that whenever I go to the iTunes store, iTunes crashes. I have no problem playing my music and such, but whenever I go to the store it says the program has become unresponsive and must close.
I've reinstalled iTunes, made sure that everything is up to date, and the works. I'm guess I'm just wondering if anyone else had this problem after upgrade and what they did to fix it.
Thanks!

Just found the answer
Try adding C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support; to the system variables PATH
iTunes tries to use QTMovieWin.dll and that the file is in the directory
Guide to add a PATH:
Windows 8
Drag the Mouse pointer to the Right bottom corner of the screen
Click on the Search icon and type: Control Panel
Click on -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced
Click on Environment Variables, under System Variables, find PATH, and click on it.
In the Edit windows, modify PATH by adding the location of the class to the value for PATH. If you do not have the item PATH, you may select to add a new variable and add PATH as the name and the location of the class as the value.
Close the window.
Windows 7
Select Computer from the Start menu
Choose System Properties from the context menu
Click Advanced system settings > Advanced tab
Click on Environment Variables, under System Variables, find PATH, and click on it.
In the Edit windows, modify PATH by adding the location of the class to the value for PATH. If you do not have the item PATH, you may select to add a new variable and add PATH as the name and the location of the class as the value.
Windows XP
Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced
Click on Environment Variables, under System Variables, find PATH, and click on it.
In the Edit windows, modify PATH by adding the location of the class to the value for PATH. If you do not have the item PATH, you may select to add a new variable and add PATH as the name and the location of the class as the value.
Close the window.

Accessing the iTunes Store crashes iTunes (Windows XP)

I run iTunes on XP. Over the last month, I can open iTunes just fine. But as soon as I access the iTunes Store, I get a Windows error message (that iTunes has encountered an error and needs to close, etc.). I looked in the event monitor and it usually says that the module that crashed is unknown, though a couple of times I have seen the javascriptcore.dll file listed as the faulting module.
Usually, it will crash when I get to the halfway point of opening the store. Upon rare occasion, I can get to the point of searching, but as soon as I choose a result, iTunes crashes.
I had this to happen one time before and it resolved itself. It happened again a couple of months ago and I followed the Apple approved steps to cleanly uninstall and reinstall all products related to iTunes. It worked for a couple of weeks and started up again.
Additional facts: Podcasts update just fine, as long as I don't try to go to the podcast site. Also, I have Safari installed and it also crashes almost immediately when opening.
I really need to find the root cause, especially if Apple wants me to buy anymore stuff from the store!

Hmmmm. If we can trust the second sort of message, you've got a problem with your Apple Application Support.

ITunes Store Crashing iTunes

I have updated to the new version of iTunes and whenever I try to access the iTunes Store it crashes iTunes.
This started happening after the new download was installed.
When I click on the store icon iTiunes behaves as usual with the bar filling up with blue but when the bar fills up iTunes crashes.
It only seems to do this on my administrators account too - which is odd.

I'm having a very similar problem to this. I downloaded 8.0.1, and now iTunes tries to connect to the store upon startup, and crashes shortly thereafter. iTunes is now completely unusable. I'm using Mac OS 10.4.11.

Match crashes iTunes on Windows.

I took up Match for the sole reason that I wanted DRM-free versions of music I bought years ago, but Match just crashes iTunes. I have a library of 24000 songs and although Match gets a long way through Step 3, it doesn't complete. When I restart iTunes I get a "iTunes detected a problem with Match, please sign out and back in again". When I sign out, it crashes again. Then on the 2nd restart it allows me to sign out and back in again...
iTunes 12.0.1.26, Windows 7 x64.
How do I report this properly to Apple? I can't see how to do so without a supported piece of hardware, which I don't have.

tjo-wton,
Thank you for using the Apple Support Community. Due to the nature of your issue or question you may find more information by using another one of Apple's support resources - https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action.

Gathering Genius information in iTunes 10.5 crashes iTunes in Windows 7.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes with no success. All other iTunes functions work. I can update Podcasts, purchase music and sync my iPhone but I can't run/update Genuis without crashing iTunes. I get the message "iTunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available" The progress bar gets to "Gathering Information about your library" every time when it crashes. I have the latest iTunes and iPhone 4s software installed. Anyone else having this problem? Or can offer a solution?

I just experienced an issue that I believe to be the same, but it occurred after I tried to move my iTunes library to a new computer. I did so by creating a new library, then adding the previous library's "iTunes Media" folder into the new library. Everything copied over just fine, but every time I try to enable Genius, it lets me sign in, agree to the license, and then it crashes iTunes with the same message you described above.
I didn't sync any devices, I do have Home Sharing enabled (so the PC is authorized), and I don't quite know what's up. Genius worked on the previous computer perfectly.
The new PC's details: Windows 7 (SP1) 64-bit, 2GB RAM, ~1.0 Mbps download connection, 1 Ghz Dual-core AMD processor.

Iphone 6 plus crashing itunes in Windows 7

Can't synch new iphone 6 plus (64G) with itunes 12.0.1.26 in Windows 7.
iphone 5 synched just fine to computer backup prior to purchasing iphone 6 plus--two hours later it's crashing...
"iTunes has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is
available."
I'm guessing this is an Apple glitch needing an Apple fix?

Hi there panionian,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The article linked below provides troubleshooting tips that’ll resolve most issues like the one that you’ve described, where iTunes quits unexpectedly when syncing your iPhone 6 Plus.

Gathering Genius information in iTunes 10.4 crashes iTunes in Windows 7.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes with no success. All other iTunes functions work. I can update Podcasts, purchase music and sync my iPod but I can't run/update Genuis without crashing iTunes. I get the message "iTunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available" The progress bar gets to the "n" of "Gathering Information about your library" every time when it crashes. I have the latest iTunes and iPod software installed and this problem did not show up until after I updated to iTunes 10.4.

Itunes match crashes itunes in windows 8

Hi. Just signed up for iTunes Match and went to sync all of my items with it. Every attempt to sync my music with iTunes to the cloud results in an inevitable crash of iTunes. i have restarted the computer, restarted iTunes, reinstalled iTunes, but not luck completing the task. i make ti almost uploading all of my info and about to handle the artwork, etc. and iTunes crashes and shuts down.
I do not know how to fix this and would like to try to do so. If i cannot get the service to work, i would at least like the cost of the service refunded.

I have been fighting this for awhile. At first I thought I was having a networking problem but what I have found is that iTunes cannot write to a Windows 8 or Server 2012 share. It is also very flaky when installed directly on the machine. Here is what I have learned.
iTunes in a windows 7 virtual machine = Cannot write to server 2012 share
iTunes in a windows 8 virtual machine = Cannot write to server 2012 share and becomes unstable with a local library.
iTunes in server 2012 = instant crash
I understand Apple does not support iTunes 10.7 on windows 8, but this seems strange. I would have assumed that installing iTunes on a windows 7 machine and targeting a library on a server 2012 share would work, but it crashes waiting for a network response anytime it tries to write to the library or download anything.
People seem to think iTunes 11 will work. I guess we will find out.
BTW - When iTunes crashes it makes the machine and then server virtually unusable. The only way to recover is to remove the network connection to the machine with iTunes. This will bring both machines back and let you reboot normally.

Unable to open Store or taskbar on Windows 10

So I had my friend download windows 10 on my laptop.....Apparently i got a virus on it somehow so i had to recover it to take the virus off... and it did... but now i cant even open the app store or the taskbar... What do i do???????????

The best thing to do is to download the Windows 10 .iso file from a trusted source to avoid any infection by a virus and reinstall Windows 10. It is impossible to determine what other files in the image may have become corrupted by the virus itself
or the process of removing the virus.
Download Windows 10 Technical Preview
Download Windows 10 Technical Preview ISO March Update for build 10041
