How to Make iTunes Run Faster on Windows
Typically iTunes takes a lot of time to load on the Windows operating system and runs slower than it does on other types of OS. While it does not seem to be highly compatible with Windows, there are certain ways it is possible to get a better performance.
The installation of iTunes can be done more quickly if certain options are disabled in the Setup Assistant. If there are a lot of songs in the Music folder, iTunes will attempt to add them all. To save time, both the options of “Add MP3 and AAC files” and “Add WMA files” need to be unchecked.
Another easy way to speed up iTunes is to disable unused services. Certain services relating to other Apple products are enabled by default which needs to be turned off. So when certain devices are connected, iTunes can start syncing automatically leading to a huge waste of time. Switching off this feature considerably reduces the running time of iTunes on windows. Disabling Smart Playlists is another way to help iTunes load and run faster on the Windows system. While these are very popular features, they take a lot more time than regular playlists.
It is also better to use the standard browser view to find the collections of different artists rather than using Color Flow which can specifically slow down older computers. The Genius feature also needs to be turned off as it takes up a lot of resources. Getting rid of duplicate files should also help in improving the entire experience of iTunes on Windows, as well as freeing up valuable storage space on your hard drive. One of the easiest ways to speed up the iTunes is by getting rid of columns that are not required. This will make it easier to steer through the library and get rid of unnecessary stuff which slows down the computer.
