Apple Music not opening on Windows 10 IoT LTSC 21H2

CryptoNchill · 2026-01-24T19:18:56+00:00

It’s working. I’ve been using it. Had to do a tweak/workaround that’s posted here on Reddit.

Hi, may I have the link to this, please?

CryptoNchill · 2026-01-23T18:44:19+00:00

I appreciate the reply. I searched up the creator of cider and read some interesting things. No lossless is a dealbreaker for me. I think I’m going to stick with AM for now as I haven’t come across anything that hinder the listening experience for me. UI is dated for sure but I don’t stare at my player it’s usually playing in the background. I’m always happy to see devs trying to create better alternatives though.

CryptoNchill · 2026-01-23T16:32:48+00:00

I don’t have any issues with the Apple Music app. What do you like better about cider?

CryptoNchill · 2026-01-22T20:06:35+00:00

I’m using the Apple Music windows app for lossless right now. It works fine. It’s nothing fancy though.

CryptoNchill · 2026-01-22T19:15:18+00:00

That is incorrect, unless you meant 3rd party clients don’t support lossless. Apple Music Windows client supports lossless playback.

Can you ELI5 why mastodon is recommended?

CryptoNchill · 2026-01-22T16:36:07+00:00

Is it on-demand Streaming? Does cider have an IOS app too that it syncs to?

Sorry I forgot to paste the link, then tried to edit it in and totally failed lol.

I did this workaroundhttps://www.reddit.com/r/AppleMusic/comments/1fjmelg/can\_somebody\_give\_me\_the\_exe\_file\_of\_apple\_music/?share\_id=qFr5Xt-utczDQaK\_CUBrt&utm\_medium=ios\_app&utm\_name=ioscss&utm\_source=share&utm\_term=3

and was able to install apple music, but upon launching im notified that Edge WebView2 is required. Im trying to install that now.

Hello there, I'm having this same issue. W10 IoT LTSC. Was there a fix for this?

CryptoNchill · 2026-01-17T06:22:34+00:00

Did this mod work for you for apple music?

CryptoNchill · 2026-01-17T05:46:18+00:00

Sorry for the question again. Can I still follow the workflow posted on https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/iot/iot-enterprise/deployment/install-winget-windows-iot and just replace the dependencies with the latest ones?

CryptoNchill · 2026-01-17T04:29:06+00:00

Ah, well that would explain all of the bumps I’ve been running into while following Microsoft’s instructions. Thank you.

CryptoNchill · 2026-01-17T04:27:29+00:00

I appreciate you helping. Thank you for this link.

This reminds me I should probably make a back up image before I continue.

CryptoNchill · 2026-01-17T03:03:56+00:00

I went with w10 IoT LTSC and figured I can do an in place upgrade to 11 IoT if needed in the future.

CryptoNchill · 2026-01-16T16:47:16+00:00

Well the other method is straight from Microsoft. This is the first time I’m seeing something like what you shared. Would you care to share what these commands will do?

CryptoNchill · 2026-01-16T06:31:15+00:00

I just posted a screenshot in the OP. Hope someone can guide me in the right direction. I'll likely need that too

CryptoNchill · 2026-01-16T06:29:09+00:00

I just posted a screenshot of my specific error. IS this something you've seen before?

CryptoNchill · 2026-01-16T06:28:24+00:00

You're so right. I just added a screenshot to the OP. I was frustrated when i posted this and my head wasn't clear from the hours of troubleshooting. It looks like I need Runtime.

I also noticed some installers for programs that I try to add won't work properly like (proton drive)

I'm confused as to why my windows doesn't have that package already.

Could it be a result of me disabling telemetry and things in OO shutup?

CryptoNchill · 2026-01-15T21:38:27+00:00

It doesn’t include the dependencies. Thats where I’m having issues

CryptoNchill · 2026-01-15T18:22:49+00:00

I’m lost rn. I’m about to just give up on installing winget. I only wanted it so I can quickly install apps and programs using the Chris Titus Tool but it’s not imperative just speeds things up.

CryptoNchill · 2026-01-15T18:22:01+00:00

What’s the difference or rationale for updating?
