Windows 10: Unable to activate iCloud for Windows

I have been trying to install and activate icloud+ on my laptop. When I click "off" to the right of "iCloud Drive", it takes me to drive settings. I toggle the sync to own folder button. I'm then taken back to the main screen where "off" turns to "on" momentarily, then goes back to off. see picspic 1pic 2I tried following the steps here, If you can't download or install iCloud for Windows - Apple Support, but nothing works.I tried following the steps on this page:https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/unable-to-install-icloud-for-windows/4745b493-8560-4a5c-ae7e-862c60580a47&nb

   and R key together on your Keyboard.
   
2. Type appwiz.cpl and hit enter.
   
3. Select the iCloud application and click on Uninstall.
   

Method 2: Reinstall iCloud application.


Step 1:

I would suggest you to ‘Download

Once the installation is completed, tap on the Windows key on your keyboard, search for ICloud app. Right click on the app and click on
