Windows 10: 1809 Update Breaks iCloud

iCloud users should note this before upgrading. More evidence of poor testing?

Icloud for windows 7.5.0 breaks service TCP/IP Netbios Helper


Once the new version 7.5 is installed (either as an upgrade to 7.4 or after removing 7.4 and restarting) it breaks netbios and no amount of removal or reinstallation or sfc /scannow fixes the breakage. I have to restore from a backup. So my solution is to restore the backup and ignore the apple update suggestion. Sadly this means I cannot update itunes either since that and icloud share a lot of code. I put this on the apple and technet forums too in case someone there has ideas.

 

iCloud for Windows will not work with Windows 10 (October 2018 update)

Try this solution that worked in my case (Windows 10 Pro 64-bit v1809)

1. Open Registry Editor: Win+R | regedit
2. Navigate to the registry path: HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
3. Temporarily modify these 3 registry keys:
   • CurrentBuild set value to 17134 (instead of 17763)
   • CurrentBuildNumber set value to 17134 (instead of 17763)
   • ReleaseId set value to 1803 (instead of 1809)
4. Install iCloud: iCloudSetup.exe | when finished, do not restart yet
5. Restore initial values of the 3 keys (step 3)
6. Restart PC and complete setup of iCloud

For Windows 10 in 32-bit version, the path is: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion

 

1809 breaks network browsing?


Sorry for your troubles. I'm not sure what to suggest next, except perhaps the "Shared Folders" troubleshooter under the Network and Internet heading. May not do much good, though (I think it works by doing automatically what you've already tried manually). Worth a try, perhaps?
