The virtual disk is VMDK Dynamically allocated, so I gave it 120GB, but it only takes 25GB.

Thanks you so much! I love it 😍, most of all the "disabled Widows Update" and remove all the extraThe virtual disk is VMDK Dynamically allocated, so I gave it 120GB, but it only takes 25GB.
After installing iTunes, I uninstalled Apple's Software Update utility and Bonjour from Programs and Features https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4028054/windows-10-repair-or-remove-programs
I prefer an old way of starting it: press the Windows key (in this case Command ⌘) + R , type appwiz.cpl and click OK
For the moment, I kept my Mac’s iTunes library as it was. If Apple will not fix the problem, I will probably use iTunes in Windows for app management.
One more thing, this is not something that is usually recommended, I disabled Widows Update because it doesn’t ask and starts downloading without my permission, plus it has a bad habit of breaking things. https://www.slashgear.com/windows-10-update-deletes-files-crashes-computers-23618085/
For that, I used optimize-windows-update.ps1 from https://github.com/W4RH4WK/Debloat-Windows-10/
but a more user-friendly solution is O&O ShutUp10 https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10
Free, doesn’t require installation, made in Germany
Good luck!
If I remember corectly, several months ago we used to edit info.plist inside iTunes with 12.9.5 instead of 12.6.5. At some point, especially in Catalina, this trick stopped working and we switched to using 13.6.5 instead. Try to edit those values and see if it makes any difference.

What version of iTunesAccess do you have? The newest I found was 12.8.2.3 from iTunes12.8.2.dmg
Have you granted iTunes Full Disk Access and it still doesn't work?
