I turned to the Microsoft Store (link: https://apple.co/ms) And download iTunes, But I still can't use qaac to encode (Both 32bit&64bit)

iTunes v12108.5.48031.0
QAAC 2.6.9

You have to move the necessary files from iTunes into the qaac program folder.

App folder:

...or put everything in the app folder together.

Hope this helps.

For me the instructions about copying files posted by @Dendraspis work for regular iTunes 64-bit 12.12.2.2 and latest qaac version.

Both msvcr100.dll and msvcp100.dll don't seem to be necessary for me. I am not sure if that is because latest iTunes build doesn't need them anymore, or because I have all Visual C++ runttime versions installed on my system.

That said, no idea why you would rush to install Windows 11 which is still largely unfinished, and why you would prefer installing native Windows applications such as iTunes from Windows Store. That seems to me like asking for trouble and it seems you have found it.
