Itunes error 7 (windows error 998)

Hello,

It's been a few months now, everytime I try to open itunes, I keep getting Itunes error 7 (windows error 998). Everywhere suggests this solution https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204313, but the same problem keeps popping out back. I've tried almost everything. I need to sync some stuff in my iPhone. Please help, thank you.
