By the way, although your iTunes states that you are using the latest version, that's not quite true. Your iTunes is the latest version for Windows 7, which will be iTunes 12.10.11.2.


The most recent version of iTunes is 1213.6.1 which became availability around 5th March 2025 (but it will not work on Windows 7).
