"iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server"

I have been recently trying to access iCloud on my browser on Windows 11 for 1 week now only to be thrown with a "Connection Error" Message when this happened to me the first time I just assumed Apple's servers were just down at that moment and it would just get resolved from Apple's end. Then I tried it the next day to No avail this time and I was like "There is no **** way Apples servers are this crap" and I was right I checked the iCloud support status and it was Up.Its soo annoying especially when you just want to get a photo off your iphone but kept getting met with this.I had to go back to them 2009 Type ways and turn off icloud photos and use that big ol Itunes to get images off my iphone.This is only a problem on chrome and not Edge which is a problem cause I am not gonna be using Microsoft Edge I want it on Chrome.

Windows, Windows 10

I am having this same problem in Edge on windows 11. Same error screen. It started today. I am able to connect using Firefox no problems. Other websites are not affected in Edge.

This is most likely an Edge/Microsoft issue.

I have run a repair on Edge with no effect.

Strange that it is only affecting iCloud.
