iTunes is an essential tool when you are using Apple’s iPhone or iPad. But there’s one annoying thing that happens with iTunes if you hook in your device using a USB cable. When you connect your iPhone or iPad to the Windows computer using the USB cable, the iTunes app automatically launches on the system.
This is because a program named “iTunes Helper” is running in the background and whenever it detects Apple device getting plugged into the computer using a USB cable, it launches the iTunes app.
In this step-by-step, we will show you how you can easily disable this feature so that this annoying feature doesn’t trigger every time you connected your Apple device.
