iPhone cannot be used because it requires a newer version of Windows

My XS Max iPhone has been syncing fine with iTunes for Windows 12.10.4.2. Today, I tried syncing and I got "The iPhone "xxxx" cannot be used because it requires a newer version of iTunes....."


I do have the latest version of iTunes installed. I downloaded 64-bit 12.10.4.2 again today and did a "re-install". I rebooted PC. I powered off and on the iPhone. I still get error.


I wonder if it's related to the iOS 13.4 upgrade that got installed a few days ago?


Anyone seeing the same issue or have any ideas on how I can fix?


Thanks . . . . Brian

Apple has just released iTunes for Windows 12.10.5.12. That fixed the problem. My iOS 13.4 iPhone can now sync to iTunes again.
