Windows/iCloud broken?

It's more than just a Windows 10 issue. I have two PCs I regularly use; one running Win 10, the other Win 11. They were both working fine until last week. Apple seems to have broken something subtle and they need to fix it. I don't think there was a major Windows update rolled out last week, so it's likely an Apple issue.

It's Windows Update that triggers this - after any major update, it will break the iCloud App (from the Microsoft Store). Only solution I have used for too many years and too many times!!!!! is to:

1- uninstall iCloud app (someone should just burn this piece of trash app)

2 - find an old non-app version of iCloud and install that

3 - once the old version is working and authenticated, reinstall the app - or just don't because apparently neither Microsoft nor Apple give a hoot about fixing the problem that has been going on for a few years now and you can count on it happening again on the next big Win Update.

iCloud wants some sort of re-authentication that the App cannot manage to complete. I have been through this procedure so many times, it is ridiculous.

Yes, if you look at other threads it would appear this is a wide scale issue. A lot of people are confusing the iCloud App for WIndows and iCloud.com, but the issue is the same for both, oddly.

Strangely, my latop WIndows 10/Chrome browser started working last night, but my Windows 10/Chrome browser tower will not work with the iCloud App.

Keep everyone posted and make sure you list a ticket with Apple or it will not be looked at.
