The iCloud app on Windows 11 laptop is no longer synchronizing photos from the cloud

Finally, I found the solution.

1. Remove iCloud from the Windows pc.
2. Reboot the pc.
3. Rename/remove all folders related to iCloud. like "iCloud Photos" (in pictures) and "iCloudDrive" (in your userprofile) make a backup before removing the folders.
4. Reinstall iCloud, logon with your Apple ID and follow the instructions.
5. Reboot the pc.
6. If you have iTunes installed, you probably have to log on with your Apple ID there again to

This solved my photo-syncing problem!

Same story here.

I checked: If your iCloud Photos are not syncing - Apple Support to see that everything has indeed been synced. But not on my Dutch Windows 11 pc.

I even switched off iCloud-photos (iCloud-foto's) in the iCloud-app. But when I reboot my pc and turn the synchronization back on again. It won't change it's "Updating..." (Bijwerken...) state.

If I open the pictures in "Microsoft pictures" (Microsoft foto's) part of them is visible where others only display the (Dutch) non-syncing message: "Dit bestand kan nu niet worden geopend omdat iCloudPhotos synchronisatie is onderbroken. Hervat de synchronisatie en probeer het opnieuw."

I get similar messages when browsing the iCloud-photo's in Windows explorer (Windows verkenner) and other applications. Error-messages like: "The cloud provider is not running" appear.

This case looks similar to the unsolved: iCloud Photos stuck 'Updating' on Win 11 - Apple Community (I don't know how to look into the mentioned iCloud logs tough).

Note: I'm using Dutch software, so maybe not all translations are correct.

Update:

• Today after almost two weeks the iCloud-photo's (Dutch: iCloud-foto's) tells me synchronizing is ready!

But, wait a sec....

• The finished date is still August 6th? And today it is August 22nd?

• When I open Microsoft Photo's (Microsoft Foto's) The downloaded pictures are also from a later date until the 10th of August to be precise. Pictures from a later date (it is the 22nd) are nowhere to be found.
• Some of the photo's still are in the non-syncing message: "This file cannot be opened now because iCloud Photos syncing is paused. Resume syncing and try again."

(Dutch: "Dit bestand kan nu niet worden geopend omdat iCloudPhotos synchronisatie is onderbroken. Hervat de synchronisatie en probeer het opnieuw.")...

• Besides on my iPhone (check iCloud Photos syncing) I also checked iCloud photos online. Both say everything is synced, and I can also see all the photos taken before and after August 10th there!

So this problem is still not solved, please fix this,

Thanks!

Hello,

Today it's September 8th. The finished sync date on my pc is - still incorrect - August 6th. And the sync on my iPhone is - correct - September 8th.

Has anyone an update on this issue?

Thanks again!
