Where is the AirPlay control?
The popout icon next to play and volume controls on iTunes (for PC), which allows me to initiate and control AirPlay, has disappeared. How do I get it back?
What are you playing to? Have you recently had any updates to Windows or security software that might have altered your firewall settings? What version of iTunes on what version of Windows? Did you install from the Microsoft Store? If not is the Bonjour service active in the services.msc control panel? See TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products - Apple Support.
