Hello, I use iTunes 10.7 (the toolbar was removed in newer versions) and I have the option to enable it, but no matter how many times I click on it, it never becomes active.

I have something like this (it's an internet image):

An image from '[SOLVED] iTunes Toolbar not enabling'. Two Windows 10 taskbar context menus showing toolbar options and window arrangement controls.


I can enable/disable all but the iTunes one. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Maybe some registry key is broken? Or a dll not properly registered?

Thanks in advance.

I repaired the install, and also uninstalled iTunes completely. I reinstalled Windows from scratch.

EDIT

Solved, the CLSID was under the blocked key in registry. In case anyone encounters the same problem, completely remove iTunes (if possible, with Revo Uninstaller -free version will do-), then search the registry for "B9E1D2CB-CCFF-4AA6-9579-D7A4754030EF" string (or at least that's the iTunes explorer extension in my case) and see if there's any key under "Shell Extensions/Blocked" or something like that.

Sorry I can't remember the exact reg key, but I already deleted it.

Thanks!
If it's gone in newer versions it's likely it doesn't work anymore in the version of Windows 10 you have.
 

It used to work, then I had to reinstall Windows due to a problem, and now it doesn't activate :(
 

Did you reinstall completely or just do a upgrade and keep your apps? Might be worth it to repair/reinstall itunes? I wasn't aware that the toolbar was even a thing :P
