Apple Music on Windows 11 does not load covers for albums in Library.

For some reason Apple Music does not load album covers for albums in my Library. I tried resetting app settings, reinstalling - nothing helped.

I if go to "Listen now" or "Browse" covers for all other albums show up fine except for ones that are currently in my Library.

Sorry, can't attach images - for some reason site thinks images contain forbidden content.

Windows, Windows 10

Hello!

I know it's been almost a year since you made the post but I just found a fix.


Delete your downloaded music - Go to your Windows Music folder - Apple Music - Delete the folder "Apple Music Library.musiclibrary" - Open Apple Music and download your playlists.


I hope it helped you!

Your issue likely stems from your user profile (folder) name containing characters not found in the English alphabet — Cyrillic symbols, or characters like ä, ö, õ, š, etc.


The Apple Music application does not properly function (at least in its previous version) with such user profiles, failing to display album covers even though they are downloaded to the corresponding folder on your computer; they just cannot be shown.


You can verify this by checking the name of your user folder:

C:\Users\%username%


Unfortunately, you cannot change the name of this folder (it is possible, but the system will operate unstably), so the solution is to create a new profile on the computer consisting only of English alphabet characters.


P.S. Some programs have similar issues, so a new profile might be useful in the future as well.


I hope my answer helps you!
