The question is “how can we fix the “the older version of iTunes cannot be removed” issue? The Best Soluiton - Use iMyFone TunesFix Numerous iTunes have complained that the older version of iTunes in their PCs have failed to uninstall. How to Fix “the Older Version of iTunes Cannot Be Removed” IssueĮvery iTunes update comes with varieties of issues and errors, even the latest iTunes 12.9.2 version is not an exception to issues and errors.

I have not seen this posted in any other forum, so I thought I'd do others a favor as many have done for me and many more in the past.The Reason for “The Older Version of iTunes Cannot Be Removed” Be prepared for the "do you want to run this program" box that comes up, click yes, and you should be in iTunes like nothing ever happened again. Click close, then try running the program. It will then check for further compatibility issues, and then say "incompatible program - fixed" as a final dialog box. Final step is to select "Yes, save these settings for this program". Click yes, and once you verify that it worked for you, click next. This will test opening the program, and you will get a dialog box prompting admin rights permission. Once you choose this and click next, choose "test the program". You do this by right mouse click the icon on your desktop, choose Troubleshoot Compatibility, and after it runs the Detecting Issues, select the 2nd option, "Troubleshoot program", choose "The program requires additional permission". The only thing you have to debate is either always having to right mouse click\run as admin, or, change the properties of iTunes.exe file to left mouse click, and allow it to prompt to run as admin. Because I tried it out and verified that this became a workaround/fixed the issue, until iTunes or Windows 10 runs an update to fix this, I would advise this as a fix. After granting full control to my user profile(s), I tried running iTunes as administrator.AND THAT WORKED.

I followed all instructions given by various forums (properties, grant full access, etc.) and I too, did not find this to work. I've encountered this error as well after restarting my desktop PC, 3 days after upgrading to Windows 10.
