Quicktime is one of the oldest multimedia players around, originally developed by Apple back in 1991. Quicktime has long been made available for Windows as well, and while the program is not short on features, there are simply better media players available for Windows — and Mac OS, for that matter.
However, while the program still receives updates on Mac OS, Quicktime has not been updated on Windows in almost seven years, as 2016 marked the most recent update. Quicktime’s Windows woes do not end here, however. Shortly after Apple stopped supporting Quicktime for Windows, the program was found to have critical vulnerabilities.
Since iTunes is not reliant on it, Quicktime can be safely and easily uninstalled on Windows devices. While Windows has typically been prepackaged with several media players for users to choose from, the best alternative to a Quicktime player might be VLC. VLC can play virtually any file type, supports casting and streaming to other devices, and has a host of other features, such as subtitles and a conversion tool.
