Apple Application Support at a glance
Apple Application Support is a set of shared libraries that Apple programs on Windows require, including iTunes and older versions of iCloud for Windows. The component is installed alongside these programs and appears as a separate entry in the software list, often in a 32-bit and a 64-bit variant.
Apple ships new versions together with updates of the dependent programs, usually through Apple Software Update or the application's installer. There is hardly any standalone update offering.
In managed environments the component often shows up in inventories and vulnerability scans because it remains after iTunes is uninstalled. If you no longer need it, remove it completely; if you do, keep it up to date together with the dependent application.
