ITunes Makes PC REALLY SLOW after closing in WINDOWS 11

Do you have any third party antivirus software? If you do you might try excluding the iTunes folder from real time scanning.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.

The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. When reinstalling right click on the downloaded setup file and use run as administrator. It may also help to temporarily disable any non-Microsoft anti-virus.

Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.

The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, or want to revert to an older version if the current one won't work properly for you at the moment. Links to the most recent builds are now at the bottom of the page.

Your library and device backups should be unaffected by these steps but there are links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

I'm experiencing the same thing. iTunes is just glitchy with Windows 11. Are you using the iTunes app from the Microsoft store? How much music do you have?

I'm using the app from the store, but haven't seen a big difference from the stand alone version. I also have about 10,000 songs and everything is stored and running on SSD's. After closing the app and then reopening it, it takes a while to open back up. I feel like it slowly glitches more as I use it and I can't figure it out. My processor is very fast (i9 18 cores) and I have 64 GBs of RAM.

Let me know if you discover any solutions!

Try a slightly older build from the list at the very bottom of the troubleshooting tip.
