iTunes app on Windows is driving me up a wall by not closing, please dear god help me.

Question

I have the iTunes app downloaded on my windows computer (Windows 10 at work and 11 at home but both same issue.) I use the app because I use LastFM and the desktop scrobbler is easily the most reliable.

My problem is I'll close iTunes and about 5 seconds later it will open again. It will do this sometimes 5 times in a row. I will even go into Task Manager and end task, both in "apps" and "background processes" but it will STILL open. This screw me over when I get home or too work and I constantly have to tell iTunes I don't want to upgrade to a family plan, because itunes decided to open on my other computer.

I can't find anyone talking about this issue anywhere and it's driving me crazy.

it's lastfm doing it. it seems like it uses apple scripting things. close lastfm first then iTunes and it will close
