Hi. airplay, how does itunes not work?

hi! i am currently running into this issue and i am unsure where to begin troubleshooting. please bear with me as i am not the most savy with windows. I added the Apple Music folder to Program Files (x86) as reflected in my screenshot.

Is there a newer version available? Something more stable?
