Icloud will not open due to "lack of permissions" on windows 10 Hello, i've been attempting to add Icloud to my PC but every time I try and open it no matter what way I get the error shown below, I have full administrator permissions on the PC I am using, I have re installed icloud multiple times and opened it through different methods and still with no success, is there any fix I can do on my end or will I have to wait for an update to be released for this issue to be fixed?

Problem accessing iCloud for windows after Windows 10 update Nov 2022 After a Windows 10 update in Nov 2022, I cannot start iCloud for windows and I keep on getting the message "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file" and I cannot find a way to fix this. I followed tips online to attempt to change permissions for the sub-folders in the WindowsApps folder, specifically AppleInc.iCloud_14.0.162.0_x64_nzyj5cx40ttqa\...\.., but I have no idea what to do there. The WindowsApps folders seem to be restricted with what you can do to change permissions. I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling iCloud for windows from the Windows Apps store, but this isn't helping. For now I have had to "permanently" uninstall iCloud for windows to prevent the error message continually appearing. Help much appreciated thanks!

How to fix iCloud for Windows problems by my experience and my research it doesn’t look like anybody has been able to use iCloud for windows for over a year at least, think everybody is getting the same error The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCP140.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem. also Program Files WindowsApps\AppleinciCloud_14.1,108.0_X64nzy5cx40ttaa\iCloudlWeb. Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item. reinstalled it a few times. And media plays features on I can’t find the answer I don’t know what to do
