Solution to Update iTunes for Windows without Microsoft Store

I found that doesn't work - I had seen your previous post about it and tried that but had no luck with it constantly trying to get me to go through the Microsoft store. When it says there is an update available and you click to update it opens a web browser page and that page when you click on the update takes you to the Microsoft store.

So just posting another possible solution for people to try if other methods don't work for them.

I downloaded the Microsoft 64-bit through the link you just shared yesterday actually but because they are not the most update to date itunes once you've downloaded it and go to open itunes you get the same issue because it will say the version you're using is out of date.

It actually would not allow my to use itunes until I updated it either!

So updating through the "Apple Software Update" was the only way I managed to get it to update bypassing the Microsoft store to get the most up to date itunes and be able to use it.
