So frustrated with the overwhelming number of bugs in iTunes for Windows...

I hate to come across as a Negative Nellie but this program is frustrating me so much!!!
Summing up the major burrs under my saddle:
Won't play ANY movie file. Just freezes and hangs.
Can't download updated apps without freezing and hanging.
Can't access iStore without (take a guess?) freezing and hanging.
Synching to my iphone or ipad causes itunes to hang for indeterminate periods of time. MOST times it will come back after a few minutes.
Often can't complete synch because of one of those 'undefined' errors.
iTunes has mysteriously dropped whole audiobooks, movies, ebooks, and albums out of my library, even though the files are still there.
iTunes can't rescan its own media library and add files back.
Don't even get me started on DRM. I can't play back movie files and TV episodes that I own  from my iTunes directory to my smart TV because iTunes won't recognise the TV and allow me to authorise it as a device I own. So I'm stuck playing back video that I've paid for through Quick Time or VLC media player on my Laptop instead of on my 1080p FullHD 55" TV!!!
I know my way around my PC, I've tried all the relevant tips on the Apple site to no avail. I've removed and reinstalled iTunes; no change. I've tried 'repairing' iTunes under add/remove programs in Control Panel; no change.
I'm running Windows 8.1 on a Toshiba Sattelite P870.
I'm sick and tired of having to coddle this piece of flaky code to try and make it work. It's rubbish. It has NEVER worked properly under Windows and it seems to be getting WORSE every time it's updated.
I would really like to know if Apple are going to put things right with this program once and for all, or do I drop all my iDevices right now and switch to a Windows tablet and smartphone? I'm 3 generations Apple on my iPhone and 2 on my iPad. This is seriously getting to the point where I will walk away from Apple forever. What good is having the devices if the software that is SUPPOSED to integrate them all has more bugs than a bait store?

You can give feedback directly to the Apple folks if you like. (We're a user-to-user community, so we don't have any control over the bug-fixing process, and there's no guarantee that the relevant Apple folks will see this topic.) Here's a link to the iTunes product feedback form:
