ITunes is used to work with the file system of devices from the manufacturer of mobile technology Apple. When replacing the device with a model from another manufacturer or jailbreaking the device, you must turn off iTunes so that it does not interfere with your computer or try to activate when working with other applications.

ITunes is launched every time you connect an Apple device to your computer. This option was created by Apple to enhance the usability of their products. However, this feature can often interfere with normal computer use. To turn off the automatic appearance of the program window, you need to launch iTunes using the shortcut on the desktop or the Start menu. You can also connect your device with a USB cable to start.

After that, you can close the application window, and the next time the program will remain disabled after connecting the device to the computer via a cable.
Step 3
To disable iTunes at system startup, install a program to work with the Windows startup section. Among the most functional utilities of this kind, it is worth noting CCleaner, which will allow you to edit the desired option using the corresponding function. Download the program from the official website of the developer, and then install it using the received installer package.
Step 4
To start the program, click on the created desktop shortcut, then go to the "Service" tab located on the left side of the window. In the list that appears, select "Startup" and find the line responsible for launching iTunes. Right-click on this item and select "Disable".
