Windows 10: Game applications failing to connect to auth servers after windows 11 upgrade

So recently my wife and i both upgraded our computers from Windows 10 to Windows 11. Now we have a problem where our gaming apps, aka, steam, glyph, Epic Games, etc. etc. all of them have errors in regards to "failed to connect to authentication server". Even have problems with purchasing games from said apps. If you open a web browser you can go to the sites and purchase and sign in just fine, only happens when using the clients listed. Also most games when launching almost immediately time out with the "failed to connect to auth server" and you have to hit RETRY several times over for them t

I have some issues with the Apple auth widget as it failed to load.

<Original Title: icloud error - The Apple Auth widget failed to load>

I have been trying to access icloud.com via my desktop. I have windows 10. I keep getting the above error message.

The Apple Auth widget failed to load and icloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server. I have tried many browers and get the same message. I have disabled my adblocker as well and still get the same message. I spoke with Apple and they
suggested I contact microsoft to see if there is an issue with windows 10 not allowing me to access icloud. Any ideas???
