Using Windows 10 Home, updated and iPod classic 160GB, iTunes does not recognize iPod. Window file explorer popped up and showed iPod on K:, named and then a list of iPod contents. There was no icon showing connected device. "sync" was greyed out.
This is same connection physically with which I sync my iPods.
Windows, Windows 10
Try iOS device not showing in iTunes for Windows - Apple Community. What happens if you put the classic in disk mode, will iTunes see it then?

I bet it's Windows fault.
I plugged one in and since iTunes didn't pick it up, I got called away. When I came back, there it was, and iTunes had begun playing it. Windows slowed its access. (Typical of Windows)
Sorry to ask the wring group.
Note iTunes also is uptodate
Windows recognizes iPod classic but iTunes does not
