Windows 10: iCloud fails to update on Win 10 PC

Hi,


iCloud v7.11.0.19 to 7.13.0.14 fails to update on my Win 10 PC.

The PC is a SurfacePro 4.


iCloud is working perfectly however on my Lenovo desktop running Win 10.


As far as I can tell, both versions of Windows are up to date.


I've tried to 'manually' install but no success.


I read some earlier posts in 2016 and 2017 about using Revo Uninstaller to completely remove iCloud but I'm reluctant to spend money to solve this.


Any other suggestions.

Windows and Icloud Mail etc: Failing to initialise

Hi
TomParkinson2,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Could you please help me with the below questions:

1. Are you aware of making any changes to the computer prior to the issue?
   
2. Do you receive any error message when the spinner stops?
   

I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below:

Method 1: Uninstall iCloud application.


I would suggest you to Sign out from the iCloud account from the app, then uninstall the application.

1. Press Windows
   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
the latest version of iCloud’
from the apple website. Follow the Onscreen instructions and install the application. For more information, check the article on
Set up and use iCloud for Windows.


Step 2:

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
Pin to taskbar.

If you are using Surface PC, I would suggest you to follow steps mentioned in the Microsoft article about
Using Surface with iPhone, iCloud,
and iTunes.

Hope it helps.

Let us know if you got the help you needed by clicking ‘Yes’ or ‘No’.

Windows 10 fails to update


When you finish testing the Avast suggestion, make sure that you restart your machine.

Then if the issue persists, please return to the trouble shooting list in post# 89

I think there are three steps that remain; the WU troubleshooter, reset WU components, and manual WU reset.

 

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
