Apple music for Windows 11 breaks when network jumbo frames are enabled
I've been having issues with my Apple Music app in Windows 11 not working. It worked fine for months and then suddenly whenever I tried to open it, all it would do is hang and never show anything in the Home page or connect to get my recent info. I tried tethering my pc to my phone and suddenly it started working, so I knew it had to be something with my wire network. I tried different settings in my router and firewall and nothing seemed to work, and then it dawned on me a new month back I tried to enable Jumbo frames in my network settings to see if it would help with large file copies. It never occurred to me that it stopped working around the time that I altered that setting. Today, I went into the network settings, set the mtu size back to 1514 and suddenly Apple Music opens up with no issues. So if you have issues with Apple Music in Windows, check your jumbo frame setting and see if turning it off makes any difference.
