iCloud stuck at "We're gettings ready"

Hi all,

I installed iCloud for windows on my PC, Windows 10, and my Laptop, Windows 11, and on both it doesn't want to complete the setup.

When I run the app for the first time, it just stands at "We're getting things ready" and stays on 0%

I tried disabling the firewall and my anti virus and also running it as administrator, but no joy.

Is there someone out there that can help me with this problem please?

Aah! Found the problem if someone else has the same problem.

I am blind and use a screen reader called JAWS, seems JAWS blocked iCloud somehow.

When I unloaded JAWS and used Microsoft Narrator it worked to finish the setup.

After the setup was completed I loaded JAWS again and it works fine with the screen reader.
